When damage is discovered during or after construction, the stakes are high. Questions about responsibility, timing, and liability often ariseโespecially when thereโs no clear-cut evidence. Thatโs where AusDilapsโ Defect Origin Assessment (DOA) comes in.
Our DOA reports provide expert, evidence-based analysis of visible damage. We assess the nature, location, and context of each defect to determine what caused it, when it likely occurred, and how confidently that conclusion can be drawn.
A Defect Origin Assessment is a specialist report that supplements pre- and post-construction condition reports. It identifies physical changes in a structure and uses photographic evidence, site context, and engineering insight to assess whether a defect is:
Each DOA is supported by a confidence rating that reflects the strength of the conclusionโproviding clarity and transparency when it matters most.
Defect disputes can stall projects, damage reputations, or result in costly legal claims. A DOA helps protect all parties involved by delivering an objective, third-party analysis that clarifies what actually happened—and why.
This service is increasingly used by builders, developers, councils, insurers, and property owners seeking resolution, protection, or supporting evidence in complex projects.
If you’re dealing with unexplained cracking, property complaints, or potential claims, a Defect Origin Assessment can provide the clarity you need to move forwardโconfidently, and with documentation to back you up.
