Gone are the days when developers and contractors used to take concrete defects as something that needs to just be patched up or repaired. RERA has legislated that the defect liability period for any construction project will now be for a duration of 5 years from the date of handing over of the flat to the home buyer. Considering the fact that a typical mid or high rise building takes anything from 2 to 4 years to handover after the first pour of concrete, the defect liability of the concrete can actually be anything from 6 years to 9 years. That is sufficient time for even some hidden defects to surface! All serious and professional entities that are in the business for the long-term have taken note of this far reaching provision of RERA and are gearing up to mitigate future costs, claims and damages.

The root cause of defects in concrete, or for that matter in any construction activity can be traced to any one of the following:

• Design or detailing errors
• Poor quality of materials
• Error in construction
• Improper handling or (over)loading
