Common builders problems and solutions in Malvern Vic 3144

These are the most frequent issues Malvern Vic 3144 homeowners encounter that require a builders, along with whether each is a realistic DIY repair or a job for a licensed professional.

Verifying a builder's licence before signing Hire a pro

Every Australian state and territory requires a builder to hold a current builder's licence for any residential building work over a set threshold (typically $5,000–$12,000 depending on the state). Check the licence number against your state regulator's register before signing any contract. An expired or restricted licence can void your Home Building Compensation Fund (or equivalent) protection.

Progress payment disputes and cost overruns Hire a pro

Residential building contracts in Australia are regulated — in most states, progress payments must follow a legislated schedule tied to construction milestones, not arbitrary dates. Never pay ahead of the milestone schedule. If a builder requests a large upfront payment outside the permitted deposit (usually 5–10%), this is a red flag. A solicitor or building consultant can review the contract before you sign.

Structural defects discovered during or after construction Hire a pro

If you discover a suspected structural defect during a build, engage an independent building inspector before the relevant slab, frame or wet-area inspection milestone is passed — it is far more expensive to rectify defects after the structure is enclosed. For defects found after completion, document with dated photos and engage a licensed building inspector to prepare a formal defects report within the statutory warranty period.

Builder becoming insolvent mid-project Hire a pro

Home building compensation insurance (HBCF in NSW, Domestic Building Insurance in VIC, etc.) protects homeowners when a licensed builder becomes insolvent or dies before completing the work. Confirm your builder has obtained this insurance before paying any deposit — it is a legal requirement for contracts over the relevant state threshold and should be provided as a certificate.
