Identify the Issues Before They Escalate
A building defect or compliance failure can impact safety, value, and legal standing. At Hit The Mark, we provide in-depth defect and compliance audits for residential and strata properties. These inspections go beyond surface-level checks focusing on workmanship, materials, and regulatory adherence. Each issue is clearly identified, documented with photos, and categorised by severity, making it easier for owners to plan next steps or take legal action if required.
Matthew McDonald conducts all audits personally, drawing on his decades of hands-on construction and consultancy experience. Whether you’re purchasing a new property, managing a build, or investigating complaints, we tailor the inspection to your needs. Our reports are structured for clarity, include a full breakdown of defects, and provide rectification guidance based on current building codes. The goal isn’t just to report problems, it’s to protect your investment by helping you make informed, confident decisions.
Defensible, Detailed, and Built for Action
Defect and compliance audits are often used as leverage in repair negotiations, builder disputes, or insurance claims. That’s why our reports are formatted to be clear, consistent, and capable of supporting your position if needed in NCAT or other formal proceedings. We ensure every observation is backed by photographic evidence and tied to specific building standards.
Whether you’re dealing with waterproofing failures, non-compliant materials, or general poor workmanship, we document everything with care. Matthew brings real-world building experience to his assessments, so you’re not just reading a list of faults, you’re gaining a structured understanding of what went wrong and why it matters. Each report is written in plain English and reviewed with you directly. With Hit The Mark, your property’s issues are laid bare and your options made clear.
