The simple fact is that your home under warranty has failed and should be either repaired or replaced under warranty. Unless you have done something to contribute to the problem the liability is builder's. Six years is a long time to waste.

CCTV inspection and report. Legal advice. Emergency repairs to my home eg leaking ceiling caused ceiling damage, leaking pipes, leaking water pipe to home due to rubbing on brickwork, Carpenter to shave off external doors so I can lock them and be secure etc etc. Last year the builder was told by his insurer not to come and rectify any ongoing problems I was having.
In 2015 builder replaced north end of house perimeter concrete due to path moving away from brickwork (see pic). It’s apart again (see pic). For pictures I have removed the drainage sock. More water will get in down side of brickwork = more heave = more damage. This is where the system is wrong. Where does one find the money to seek justice at VCAT? It’s not just the financial burden over the years, it’s also the emotional stress and health issues that it all causes.
