Defect warranty periods under the Home Building Act 1989 (NSW) and other applicable legislation are designed to protect building owners from substandard workmanship and materials. When defects arise — whether minor cosmetic issues or serious structural failures — they must be rectified quickly, permanently, and with full documentation.

Atomic Projects manages and executes defect warranty works with the same level of precision and accountability as large-scale remedial projects. We act as both technical specialists and project coordinators, ensuring the works are completed to the satisfaction of owners, insurers, and regulatory bodies.

1. Defect Scope Review & Verification

Before works commence, we:

• Review all defect lists provided by owners, strata managers, or consultants.
• Verify defect claims through physical inspection and testing.
• Categorise defects as structural, water ingress, service-related, or cosmetic.
• Identify root causes to ensure repairs address the source, not just the symptom.

2. Warranty Period Compliance Management

We understand the critical timelines within warranty obligations. Our team:

• Liaises directly with builders, developers, and warranty insurers.
• Documents all findings with time-stamped photographic and written evidence.
• Provides formal notifications and scope acceptance records to meet legal obligations.

3. Permanent Rectification Works

Repairs are executed using compliant materials and methods, often improving upon the original installation to prevent repeat failures. Examples include:

• Waterproofing failures: Remove and reinstall full compliant membrane systems.
• Façade cracks: Structural stitching, repointing, or joint replacement.
• Structural defects: Beam reinforcement, footing underpinning, or load path correction.
• Joinery or fitout defects: Repair, refinish, or replace to match original specification.

4. Quality Assurance & Sign-Off

To close out warranty works, we:

• Conduct final inspections with stakeholders present.
• Provide manufacturer and workmanship warranties for all rectified elements.
• Supply a Defect Completion Report with before-and-after evidence.

5. Dispute Prevention

We know that poorly handled defect works often lead to lengthy disputes. To avoid this:

• We maintain clear and transparent communication throughout.
• Provide real-time updates via digital reporting systems.
• Ensure every completed task has signed acceptance before final invoice submission.

Outcome:

With Atomic Projects managing your defect warranty works, you get a fully compliant, zero-compromise rectification process that restores confidence in your building’s integrity, eliminates repeat defect claims, and safeguards you from unnecessary disputes or litigation.
