Building Defect Rectification in Melbourne
Fixing Structural & Façade Defects for Long-Term Safety
Building defects can lead to serious safety hazards, structural deterioration, and compliance breaches. At Lynmore Construct, we specialize in building defect rectification, ensuring properties across Melbourne & Victoria meet National Construction Code (NCC) and Australian Standards. Left unchecked, these issues can escalate into costly repairs, potential legal ramifications, and compromised occupant safety.

Common Building Defects We Rectify
- Facade Defects – Including material deterioration, cracks, and poor sealant applications that degrade your building’s exterior, allow moisture infiltration, and compromise occupant comfort and safety
- Structural Issues – Encompassing concrete cracking, slab movement, or foundation settling that weaken the building’s stability, leading to potential safety hazards, higher repair costs, and compliance breaches if left unaddressed
- Waterproofing Failures – Covering leaks in basements, façades, balconies, and roofs that can trigger mold growth, interior damage, and long-term structural deterioration—ultimately driving up maintenance costs and creating health risks
- Fire Safety Non-Compliance – Referring to missing or inadequate fire-rated materials, passive barriers, or active protection systems that expose occupants to undue risk and can result in expensive fines or legal complications under building codes and voided insurances
