Question: Our building has a range of defects. How do committee members know which defects to prioritise based on their severity and potential impact on the safety and functionality of the building?
Answer: A building consultant can assist in identifying defects and advising of risks.
It is always best to get an expert involved to assist in this process, as it can be complex.
A building consultant can assist to not only identify defects but also advise of risks associated with the defect to allow prioritisation and a plan. Owners should not attempt to navigate this area without advice as there are many considerations.
