90 Day Building Defects Liability Inspections By a Licensed Builder
A 90-day defects liability inspection is a critical step in protecting your investment after building a new home. Once construction is complete and you’ve taken possession, most builders provide a defects liability period, usually around 90 days. During this time, you have the opportunity to identify and report any faults or unfinished work so they can be rectified at no additional cost. A professional inspection ensures nothing is overlooked.
As licensed builders, Canberra Plus Building Inspections specialise in thorough, independent inspections that give you a clear, detailed understanding of your property’s condition. Our goal is to help you present a strong, evidence-based defects report to your builder before the liability period expires.

Why a 90-Day Inspection Matters
Many defects are not immediately visible at handover. Over time, issues such as minor structural movement, shrinkage cracks, water ingress, or poor finishes may become apparent. If these problems are not identified within the defects liability period, you may be responsible for repair costs later.
A 90-day defects inspection ensures the following:
- The extent of any damage requiring repairs
- Maintenance standards and needs
- Proper tenant usage of the property
- The current condition of the property
What We Inspect
Our inspections are carried out with a builder’s eye for detail and a deep understanding of construction standards. We assess both structural and cosmetic elements of your home, including:
- Internal and external walls, ceilings, and finishes
- Doors, windows, and frames
- Flooring, tiling, and cabinetry
- Roofing, gutters, and drainage
- Plumbing fixtures and visible pipework
- Electrical fittings and safety features
- External works such as driveways, paths, and landscaping
We focus on identifying incomplete work, poor workmanship, and any defects that may worsen over time if left unaddressed.
Detailed Reports You Can Rely On
Following the inspection, you will receive a comprehensive, easy-to-understand report outlining all identified defects. Each issue is clearly described and supported with photographic evidence, making it easier for your builder to understand and act on the findings.
Our reports are designed to:
- Clearly communicate defects to your builder
- Help prioritise repairs
- Provide a professional record should disputes arise
