Key Points

  • Utilising a building services specialist to inspect and provide a comprehensive schedule of defects on the building services installations before the defect liability period (DLP) expires, ensures that all associated defects and non-compliance issues are accurately captured for agreement with and for rectification by the contractor at the contractor’s cost, under the terms of the contract.
  • The benefit of utilising a building services specialist is that they can provide technical advice which supports the client in their negotiations ensuring that all defects are fully resolved and that no unnecessary costs are incurred for work that should have been dealt with by others under warranty.
  • Additionally, ensuring that all defects are identified and rectified will deliver the benefits of improved system performance, improved efficiency, a reduction in callouts, maintenance time and operating cost along with increased student / customer satisfaction.
