Schedule of Defects is accurate as are the Architect's Notes on the defects.
However, the water penetration report is unacceptable. There is no blockage in the guttering - none of the retention money will be released until satisfactorily corrected. The revision to the design was to eliminate leaks and this has been unsuccessful. Direct the contractor to make good.
