I have already seen scuff marks and scratches on our frames which i will be pointing out but its the windows i'm more worried about and the fine scratches you get when sand / cement is rubbed on it. Re: Potential Scratched Windows on handover 12Apr 01, 2008 1:06 pm Cheers,
I hope thats the case - its the supplier thats at fault in this anyway for not providing the protection up front. Like i said earlier its the finer less obvious scratches I want to catch. There the ones you only see when its a sunny day. I'm in Melbourne so that will be on the toss of a coin ! Re: Potential Scratched Windows on handover 13Apr 01, 2008 2:13 pm Go to house on a sunny day before pre handover inspection and note it all down. Then riase the concerns. You will get broken glass, heaps more scratches etc before the end of the process so dont stress.
Building Code does say that scracthes on glass is a defect so they have to fix them but once handover occurs they will say you scratched them. All 3 items listed are defects and are of concern.
