owner builder inspection report

An Owner Builder Inspection Report, commonly referred to as a Section 137B Report, is a mandatory document for owner-builders in Victoria who intend to sell their property within 6 years and 6 months of completing construction or renovation work. This report, prepared by a qualified building practitioner, assesses non-structural and cosmetic elements, ensuring compliance with Australian building standards and regulations. It provides transparency for potential buyers, highlighting any defects or issues that may have been overlooked during previous inspections. Obtaining this report is essential for legal compliance and can enhance the property's value by instilling confidence in prospective purchasers.
