The best way to avoid defective work is to take steps to prevent it from happening in the first place. There are a number of things that you can do to minimise the risk of defective work, including:
- Carefully select the contractor
- Obtain references from previous clients
- Review the contractor’s license, qualifications and experience
- Inspect the work regularly
- Promptly report any defects to the contractor
By taking these steps, you can help to ensure that your construction project is completed on time and to your satisfaction.
