What happens during handover and stage inspections?

  • Pre-slab inspection

    A pre slab or base inspection is to be conducted prior to the concrete being poured to create the base of the build. Common areas of concern that we can visually check:

    • dimensions and depth of slab
      excavations
    • termite barrier/protection installation
    • beams
    • footings
    • form work
    • service pipes
  • Frame inspection

    A frame inspection is to be conducted after the walls and roof framing have been completed. Common areas of concern that we can visually check:

    • wall, roof and truss layout
    • frame spacing and bracing
    • concrete slab finish
    • window and door openings
    • plumbing and drainage
  • Lock up inspection

    A lock up inspection is to be conducted once all doors and windows have been installed, making your home secure. Common areas of concern that we can visually check:

    • fascia boards and gutters
    • brickwork and mortar
    • roofing installation and fixings
    • window and door locking devices
    • wall linings and cornices
  • Handover inspection

    • pest barrier
    • tiles are flush and sealed
