Owner Builder Inspection Report - 137B

As an owner-builder in Victoria, ensuring that your construction project complies with the required standards and regulations is paramount. One of the essential documents you will need is the Owner Builder Inspection Report, also known as a Section 137B Report. At Quality Building Consultants (QBC), we provide comprehensive 137B inspection reports, helping you meet your legal obligations and ensuring the safety and quality of your construction project.

What is a 137B Owner Builder Inspection Report?

The Owner Builder Inspection Report, required under Section 137B of the Building Act 1993, is a mandatory document for owner-builders in Victoria who wish to sell their property within six and a half years of completing building work. This report provides a thorough assessment of the building work you have undertaken, verifying that it meets the necessary building standards and codes.

A 137B report is crucial for demonstrating compliance with safety and quality standards, protecting both the owner-builder and any future buyers. This inspection helps identify any potential issues, defects, or non-compliance with building regulations, ensuring that the property is safe and fit for sale.

Why You Need a 137B Report

As an owner-builder, obtaining a 137B report is not just a legal requirement but also a vital step in safeguarding your investment. This report provides an independent assessment of your construction work, ensuring it adheres to the relevant building codes and standards. It also helps to avoid potential disputes or legal issues when selling your property, offering peace of mind to both you and prospective buyers.
