PROTECTING YOUR INVESTMENT DURING THE BUILDER'S RECTIFICATION PERIOD.
Local Authorities are investing millions in new affordable homes, but many lack the resource to effectively manage developers and contractors during the Builder's Rectification Period.
As Local Authorities increase the delivery of affordable housing through contractor-led developments, many face a common challenge. While housing teams may be equipped to handle responsive repairs and ongoing maintenance, defect management requires a different approach:
Who manages the defects liability period once the homes are occupied?
Inspecting reported defects
Managing contractor performance
Monitoring response times
Escalating unresolved issues
Protecting contractual rights before warranties expire
Without dedicated oversight, defects can remain unresolved, residents become frustrated, and Local Authorities risk inheriting avoidable maintenance costs.
