The Necessity of Exterior Wall Inspections: What Are Construction Defects at Completion?

The burden of proof for defects (inspection costs) is borne by the management association! A low-cost and high-precision investigation is necessary.

Concrete formwork with urethane coating, adopted around 2000, has improved workability and cost-effectiveness. However, many projects have not undergone proper surface treatment, and combined with the excessive efficiency and shortening of construction periods at that time, properties built between 2000 and 2005 tend to have a higher incidence of tile lifting. In recent years, legal regulations regarding surface treatment methods have been established, resulting in fewer construction defects, but they have not been completely eliminated. It is also recommended to conduct exterior wall inspections within ten years of completion, as the seller and construction company are said to provide after-sales support. However, the burden of proof for defects (inspection costs) falls on the management association, making it difficult to carry out inspections. Therefore, there is a need for low-cost and high-precision investigations. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
