Hi,
I am not sure if this is correct forum to post this question. If not kindly route to correct forum.
I bought a new unit in apartment block 6 months back in NSW. It's an year old building now. Over the period of time i can see all the walls have developed multiple small hair line cracks and one of the wall has a bigger crack( bigger than hair line but not so big). I raised the issue with builder and he is categorising these as settlement cracks. I can see similar cracks in common area but not sure about other units. In one of strarta meetings one fellow resident was also mentioning about similar stuff.
I am worried thinking builder is just trying to get away by calling these as settlement cracks. During inspections i could not find similar cracks in other buildings or i could not concentrate to find those in limited time. We all residents are trying to get our building as a whole inspected by professional.
One difference this apartment block has is that majority of the walls insisde apartments are not gyprock but made of cemented sheets.
Am I worrying too much or it's normal. Kindly share your experiences.
Thanks
