No. It is written for you and your builder to fix the problem. If the dispute goes to the tribunal you need an NCAT expert witness report prepared under Procedural Direction 3, which we can write from the same findings.
A handover inspection lists everything visible across the house. An investigation narrows to one question, such as where the balcony water is coming from, and spends the time proving the cause.
No destructive opening up, no laboratory or geotechnical testing, no engineering certification and no repair work. If a cause cannot be confirmed without those, the report says so and names who should take it further.
