The NSW Building Commission says professionals have more leeway than they think. Strata owners are paying the price in grossly inflated costs.

Hi Flat Chat
Thanks for your article on the “Letter of the law costing owners way too much’ and the response from the Building Commissioner. When it comes to waterproofing for example there are very few waterproofing companies who are registered in one of the four key categories (Design Practitioners, Principal Design Practitioners, Building Practitioners or Professional Engineers). So it ends up needing one of the above to design or sign off. It would be interesting to know how many waterproofing companies are registered practitoners and how it can be increased!
The key issue re the DBP Act is that it was intended to address issues of ‘construction’ not ‘remediation’.
