    Too much deflection of responsibility.  We’ve just been through this with a property bought off plan.  A property purchase is, in most cases, the most expensive purchase we will ever make.  Remove private certifiers (the certifier on our building was a mate of the developer.)  Council appointed certifiers only and regular inspections of works in progress by Council approved engineers.  The issue is, major structural defects are not visible if too much time is left between construction stages.
