Frequently asked questions

What is a defect inspection report?

A defect inspection report documents identified defects, assigns responsibility for remediation, and tracks completion — typically during the defect liability period.

What is a defect liability period?

A defect liability period is a post-completion period (typically 6–12 months) during which the contractor must rectify any defects that appear.

How should defects be prioritised?

Defects are typically prioritised as critical (safety), major (functional impact), or minor (cosmetic). Priority determines the rectification timeframe.

Who can raise a defect?

Defects can be raised by the client, contract administrator, building inspector, or end user during the defect liability period.

Can I use Biddaro to track multiple defects at once?

Yes. Biddaro Inspect allows you to document multiple defects in a single inspection session and organise them into a formatted defect schedule.
