Agreed. I was a victim of this in my former home in Adelaide. It was a newly built townhouse complex so we were a body corporate. Within 4 years of building completion, we were suffering from rising damp and completely loose paving in the shared driveways. The paving was too high relative to the damp proof course and the base wasn't prepared properly. It took a couple of years of legal stuff to claim on the building warranty. Having been through this, I now are more acutely aware of how dodgy new building are around Australia. New apartments especially.
