Warranty obligations for building work
Who is responsible for fixing defective building works in South Australia? This is a common question from our builder community and HIA’s expert team is here to answer it.
We break down the different scenarios that affect which statutory warranties apply, how long they’re relevant and applicable and how development approvals affect who’s legally required to sort out what is broken on the job.
We also cover the best ways to respond to defective work claims from the owner and how to carefully manage the relationship and the process with the state-specific laws in mind.
