Faultline - Defect Records

The builder says the crack is "normal settlement." You think it's a structural defect. Tribunals decide on evidence - photos, dates, a defect timeline, a Scott Schedule. Faultline helps you build that record.

Faultline is a contemporaneous building-defect organiser for Australian homeowners - whether you built new, renovated, or bought off the plan. Record each defect, attach time-stamped photos, and log delays, contract variations, and every exchange with your builder. When you're ready, assemble it into a defect timeline and a Scott Schedule for Fair Trading, your state building authority, or NCAT, VCAT or QCAT.

WHAT FAULTLINE DOES
- Record defects by room or building element, with category and severity (major / minor)
- Attach time-stamped photos to any evidence, from camera or photo library
- Log variations, cost impacts, delays, and builder communications
- Build a defect timeline and a Scott Schedule - item, location, defect, claimed remedy, cost
- Track each defect against your state's statutory warranty period (e.g. NSW: six years major, two years other)
- Browse a plain-language reference to each state's building-dispute pathway and warranties

Generic notes apps don't organise defects, build a Scott Schedule, or track a statutory-warranty clock. Faultline does.

WHAT FAULTLINE IS NOT
- Not affiliated with any builder, developer, certifier, Fair Trading office, building authority, NCAT, VCAT, QCAT, or government body.
- Not a law firm. It does not provide legal advice, decide whether something is a defect or who is at fault, predict a tribunal's decision, or lodge applications.
- A record-keeping and reference tool. For advice, speak with a building lawyer, an independent building inspector, your state's building authority, or Legal Aid.
