Start with accurate property details
Include the development or project reference, block or building information, unit number and other property identifiers that help connect the report to the correct home.
Use consistent defect numbers
Give each recorded issue a stable reference such as DEF-001, DEF-002 and so on. Numbering makes follow-up conversations much easier than referring to 'the second bathroom photo'.
Keep descriptions factual
Describe what was observed rather than making unsupported claims about cause or liability. Clear factual wording is more useful than guessing why a condition happened.
Pair photos with location context
Attach the evidence to the same record as the description. Where needed, include both an overview photo and a closer photo. Annotations can help point to the exact area.
Add floor-plan locations
Floor-plan pins are especially useful for issues on large walls, floors, ceilings or repeated finishes. A numbered marker lets the reader map the report entry back to the unit.
Control report versions
When changes are made after an initial report, create a new version rather than silently replacing the old context. Wefect Basic supports up to three generated versions, while Wefect Plus supports unlimited versions within the same paid property project.
Frequently asked questions
Does Wefect submit the report directly to the developer?
No. The homeowner downloads the report and submits it using the developer's appropriate channel.
Should normal checks fill the defect report?
The final defect report is clearer when it focuses on recorded issues rather than filling pages with no-issue items.
