FAQ About Remedial Building
What is a remedial builder?
A remedial builder is a builder who specialises on the repair, restoration, and rectification of existing buildings rather than constructing new ones. The aim of remedial work is to address and rectify defects, damage or deterioration that may have occurred over time to the building or due to specific events or poor workmanship.
The job of a remedial builder typically involves diagnosing the issue, recommending the solution to resolve it, and then carrying out the remediation work.
A remedial builder will also ensure that the building meets current legislation and legal standards, and can often carry out upgrades when required.
Why is remedial building work required?
Remedial work is required when a building has issues arising from wear and tear, poor construction, environmental factors, ground movement, or design flaws. The purpose of remedial building work is to prolong the life of a building and ensure it is safe to use.
How often should I inspect my property for potential issues?
While there’s no strict rule as to how often you should inspect your property for issues, regular inspections every few years or after severe weather events are a good idea to identify potential problems early on. For older buildings or properties in high-risk areas, more frequent inspections are recommended. Catching problems early on and carrying out remedial work can often prevent minor issues from escalating into major, costly problems.
How long does remedial work typically last?
The longevity of remedial repairs depends on the quality of work, materials used, and the nature of the issue. With high-quality materials and work done properly, the repair should last many years, but it’s crucial to maintain and inspect the property regularly.
Is remedial work covered by insurance?
This depends on the type of insurance policy you have and the cause of the damage. Some insurance policies might cover damages from specific events (like storms) but not issues arising from wear and tear or poor workmanship.
What's the difference between maintenance and remedial work?
Maintenance is routine work done to prevent deterioration and keep a building in good condition. Remedial work addresses existing issues, defects, or damage to the building.
How do I choose a remedial builder?
Remedial builders require specific knowledge to properly perform the repairs. Using a builder with specific experience in remedial work (such as us at SMR Builders) will ensure that they are able to correctly carry out all repairs and remedial work up to standard.
Will I need to vacate my property during remedial work?
This depends on the scope of the work and severity of the issue. For smaller issues, this will probably not be necessary. But if it’s a big job, you may need to temporarily vacate.
How much does remedial work cost?
The cost varies significantly based on the issue, the extent of damage, materials used, and labour charges. It’s best to contact us so we can give you an accurate estimate of what you’d be looking at cost-wise to repair your building.
How can I prevent the need for future remedial work?
Regular maintenance to your property, using quality materials during initial construction, and addressing minor issues promptly can reduce the need for extensive remedial work in the future.
How does Australian building regulation impact remedial work?
Building codes and standards in Australia ensure that remedial work meets current safety and quality benchmarks. Any remedial work needs to comply with the relevant Australian Standards and local regulations.
Can I DIY remedial work?
While minor repairs might be within the realm of DIY, many remedial tasks require expertise, specialised tools, and knowledge of building codes. It’s usually recommended to engage professionals for remedial work.
