Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Jul 13, 2020 12:07 am Looks like I will be in a fight with my builder over cracking/movement of slab. The crackings started within a month of the handover of the house and kept re-appearing. It's only a one year old property. The builder has been sending painters everytime to 'fix' it. I am in disagreement with the builder about the cause of the problem too. I am looking for an inspector/advocate who would give me a comprehensive report on all the faults of the building and help me with my fight against the builder and if I need to go to VCAT. Please recommend me a building inspector/advocate who meets the above criteria. Thanks in advance.

Have you taken photos of your Siteworks and slab construction during the build? 2 .Do you have a compaction, slab and footings inspection report? 3. Is your brickwork cracking Checking Cracks Above Lintels Using Boschlasers 4.
