Provision of evidence and notice of proposed complaint

When dealing with building disputes relating to regulated building services, the onus is on the parties to provide sufficient evidence to substantiate their respective positions.

Depending on the complexity and nature of the issue evidence in the form of photographs or a report from a building expert may be required. The Guide to the provision of evidence to support a building work complaint publication can help in understanding what is required.

The Inspection of buildings: guidelines for building complaint reports publication is intended to provide information and direction to private building inspectors when preparing reports that are likely to be used in a complaint process, so that the reports are presented in a consistent format and enable a speedy resolution of their client's complaints.
