Developer
Yes, developers generally address the defects highlighted in a third-party home inspection report—especially when the points are valid, documented, and fall under construction quality, safety, or RERA compliance. After receiving the report, the developer’s team reviews each observation, verifies it on-site, and carries out the required rectification within a reasonable timeframe. However, timelines and responses may vary based on the developer, severity of issues, and project policies. It is recommended that homeowners follow up with the developer and request a re-inspection after rectification to ensure all issues are properly resolved.
