Forty eight from frame, which is the largest single stage set on any site in the area. Twenty eight at fixing, twenty two at lock-up, nineteen at handover and eleven at slab. The frame findings are fixings; the handover findings are safety. That shape tells you where to spend: frame for the structure, handover for the things that could hurt somebody.

FAQ

Common building defects in Leppington NSW: common questions

Why is the frame set so large?

Partly because frame inspections generate more discrete items than any other stage, and partly because Leppington frames combine timber with steel posts and beams, which doubles the fixing types to check.

Forced to choose one stage, which?

Frame, on this evidence. It produces the longest list and it carries the structure.

Does a lengthy list mean the builder is bad?

Not by itself. The meaningful reading is the structural to cosmetic split, and whether items reappear after rectification.
