Tackling defects in multi-unit strata housing

该项目旨在解决日益增长的担忧，即建筑质量问题正在威胁到城市居民对高密度多单元住房的吸引力，这可能会破坏城市规划目标。该项目将调查缺陷的发生率、发生的原因以及如何提高多单元住房的质量。研究结果将被用于为改变规划和发展政策提供选择，从而产生显著的经济和社会效益，包括更有效的建筑监管、改善建筑质量和安全、降低业主的成本和压力、更具弹性的城市社区和更好的城市规划结果。

This project aims to address growing concerns that building quality issues are threatening the appeal of higher density multi-unit housing for city dwellers, which could undermine urban planning goals. The project will investigate the prevalence of defects, why they occur and how multi-unit housing quality can be improved. The findings will be used to inform options for changes to planning and development policy resulting in significant economic and social benefits including more effective construction regulation, improved building quality and safety, lower costs and stress for owners, more resilient urban communities and better urban planning outcomes.
