When Building Work Goes Wrong, Get the Facts Documented
A building dispute can become complicated very quickly.
You may be dealing with defective workmanship, incomplete work, unexpected building defects, damage, disagreements over what work was completed, or an insurance claim where you need evidence of the condition of the property.
Before you can effectively address the problem, you need to understand what is actually wrong, why it may be wrong, and what needs to be done to rectify it.
That's where an experienced building consultant can help.
A detailed building report can document the condition of the building and provide photographic evidence, observations and recommendations relevant to your situation.
Don't rely on someone's word.
Get the building independently inspected and the issues documented.

We have worked together in a co-operative manner where his extensive building knowledge and expertise has contributed to component design, re-designs and implementation. One of Mr Shreeve's many strengths is his ability to find practical solutions to problems. Following my inspections carried out at various stages on his building projects, I have found Mr Shreeve to be a very competent Builder. He has shown a good technical capacity and has a lengthy experience in the building industry.
