Re: Building Warranty Insurance pathetic? 17Oct 31, 2014 1:28 pm Hi Liliana and SaveH2O, Relevant authorities indeed! I was shocked at the increase in VCAT authority in the recent proposed changes to warranty insurance and general overhaul of the industry. I looked at several of the VBA press releases and also at the other sites you mentioned SaveH2O, and I have to say I was not impressed generally with how these snibbits of advice and press releases seemed to leave new homes out of the equation generally, state that Building surveyors, building inspectors & architects are equipped to carry out pre-purchase inspections when in my experience most (yes most) are not well equipped at all, particularly for new home inspections. Overall I have to say that I am MOST UNIMPRESSED with the authorities who state such blanket statements. You might like to look at the past Building Commission Document relating to Balconies and Balustrades. That document states that it is the responsibility of owners to regularly inspect their balconies for faults, but LAYS NO BLAME on those who specified or those who allowed the specifiers to specifiy or those who installed non-durable products in balustrades and balconies used outside in the weather, when blame is critical to people's rights. It also allows past perpetrators to re-offend. Perhaps this should be posted on a rant site. There is one and it's a very good idea I think, Cheers Leonardo_23 Hi Suku18 In NSW the statutory required insurances are: 1.
