Certifiers, council and building disputes in Oran Park NSW

Oran Park sits in Camden Council. Your construction certificate and its mandatory inspections come from a principal certifier, and those inspections exist so the certificates can issue. They are not carried out for you and they do not hand you a defect list. Your protection is the statutory warranty regime under the Home Building Act 1989, six years for major defects and two for the rest, plus the Home Building Compensation Fund through icare where a builder cannot finish. Disputes go to NSW Fair Trading, then NCAT.

FAQ

Certifiers, council and building disputes in Oran Park NSW: common questions

Is the certifier's inspection enough?

No. It exists to show the work meets the certificate at the milestones nominated. It will not tell you a termite collar is missing or a strap was never fitted.

What is a major defect?

In general terms, a fault in a major element rendering the home uninhabitable or unfit for its purpose, or risking collapse. That category carries the six year period.

Where does a complaint start?

In writing with the builder, then NSW Fair Trading's complaint and inspection process, then NCAT.
