Dispute over building inspector's defect findings vs builder's engineer assessment
Request that the builder's engineers provide written justification and relevant Australian Standards or NCC clauses for why a Damp-Proof Course (DPC) is not required for your specific soil conditions and slab design.
Supporting Context
Builders must be able to substantiate their claims with official documentation, especially when deviating from standard building practices. Relying solely on verbal assurances or a longer warranty without clear technical backing can leave you vulnerable to future issues.
