Re the 'path'...the builder had it installed at a non compliant height (see my prior post) and without a spoon drain or similar. This has allowed water to pool at the path's edge. Also, the 'path' looks like pavers (are they?), is too narrow and not conducive to good drainage. It was a cheapskate effort. Also record the path's depth and how the base was constructed.

Thanks again. Hi Adman, Now I got same issues like you. I built my new house three years ago in Melbourne. I found many cracks on ceiling and wall few months ago. The builder inspected my house and then he said I need to remove footpath and reinstall because it hasn't proper angle according to Victoria building regulations. And then he needs to monitor the house heaving. So I asked him if I replace the footpath, is the slab heaving going to be steady? But he never answered about my question and keeps talking about other things. I'm so frustrated now. I just need a clear solution about my problems. Can you share your situation with the builder at the moment? Now I'm seriously looking for a legal adviser about my issues. Thank you Re: Slab heave nightmare.
