As an Owner Builder Warranty provider we see the defects listed on the reports required for the sale, if the problems had been brought to the attention of the owner builder and then the tradie, it would have been fixed during construction and not listed as a defect when selling the home.

The Quality Assurance Checklist assists Owner Builders to prepare Trade Orders and schedule of works to clearly direct Trades and Contractors to meet important and critical quality points.

Why do you need it

It is a lot easier fixing problems during construction than when finished and if you don’t know there is a problem/defect – how can you fix it? The Quality Assurance Checklist will help you avoid the problem!

With a duplicate copy for Owner Builders and Trades/Contractors, the Quality Assurance Checklist is the ideal reference check list and record for your project prior to payment for works.
