Defect Liability & Recovery
Every building you hand over starts a statutory liability clock. This tracks what is still recoverable from subcontractors, what is about to expire, and what has already been recovered instead of being absorbed by the body corporate.

Every defect not claimed before expiry becomes a Body Corporate cost.
No liability windows closing in the next 90 days.
Defects caught before practical completion cost a fraction of post-handover rectification.
