## When to use it

Use when listing the statutory warranties to check against a Victorian domestic building defect. It does not decide whether the work breached a warranty or whether a claim is in time.

## Used for these tasks

- [Build the statutory warranty and liability cut-off schedule for a residential building claim](https://ailawframework.com/practice/construction-and-infrastructure/build-the-statutory-warranty-and-liability-cut-off-schedule-for-a-reside.md)

## How AI may be used

AI may place each defect against a warranty heading from the inspection report. It must not decide that a warranty was breached or that the 10-year period has expired.

**AI may:**

- List defects from an inspection report under the warranty headings on the page
- Enter the completion date supplied in the file and count 10 years as a candidate end date
- Flag a contract clause that says the warranties are excluded

**AI must not:**

- Must not decide that work was or was not done in a proper and workmanlike manner
- Must not decide that the Building Act period has ended
- Must not draft the defects claim or a statement of the owner

**The lawyer checks:**

- The 2025 amending Act is checked for commencement before the list is relied on
- The completion date is taken from a document, not from a recollection in the instruction
- The page's 10-year statement is checked against the current Building Act section
