Certifiers, council and building disputes in Schofields NSW

Schofields sits in the City of Blacktown. A principal certifier issues your construction certificate and occupation certificate, and their inspections exist so those certificates can issue rather than to give you a defect list. Your protection is the statutory warranty regime under the Home Building Act 1989. On attached housing there is a party most owners forget: the body corporate, which holds responsibility for common property and is the correct addressee for a defect that turns out not to sit inside your lot.

FAQ

Certifiers, council and building disputes in Schofields NSW: common questions

Who do I complain to about a common property defect?

The body corporate in the first instance, and through them the developer or builder. It is not something you can pursue alone as an individual lot owner, which is why the boundary matters.

Is the certifier's inspection enough on its own?

No. It shows the work meets the certificate at nominated milestones. It will not tell you a damp proof course stops halfway across a junction.

Where does a dispute go?

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