Understanding Domestic Building Insurance & Warranty Claims
When residential building work goes badly wrong, the legal path may involve more than a claim against the builder. Homeowners may also need advice about domestic building insurance, statutory warranties, insolvency of the builder, and how to frame rectification or damages claims so the right party and the right loss are addressed.
Vitt Legal advises Melbourne homeowners and building industry participants on domestic building insurance issues and related warranty disputes. We help identify whether the matter is really about defective work, incomplete work, insurance response, builder insolvency, consultant liability or a combination of those issues.
