Common building defects in Oran Park NSW
The weight of them sits early: thirty seven at slab, thirty six at frame, twenty eight at lock-up. By handover the list is mostly presentation, which is the shape you want to see and is an argument for spending your inspection budget at the front of the build rather than the end. Only twenty three of the hundred and thirty eight are flagged as major, and the majors cluster in the slab and frame sets.
