Here are a few examples of what you might find in your Report

We take our inspections seriously and provide thorough visual checks that are above and beyond the norm.

STAGE ONE: Pre Slab Inspection

A Pre Slab or Base Inspection occurs prior to the concrete being poured to create the base. If the builder has made any errors the damage could be hidden once the base is set. This means that you may have possible issues with the entire foundation that your new home is built on.
Dimensions and excavation could have been improperly measured. Do the beams and footings conform to the engineering plans? Our inspectors determine if there are any inaccuracies/issues and provide you with a detailed report so you can relax knowing your home is being built with the quality you expect!
What You Get As Part Of Your Inspection:
  • Builder is following the approved engineering plans
  • Build is compliant with Australian standards
  • Inaccuracies and issues will be documented

STAGE TWO: Frame Inspection

Once the wall and roof frames have been completed and approved by the Building Surveyor it’s time to conduct a Frame Inspection. It is fairly common that a building surveyor will approve the frame stage even though there are multiple defects and potential issues with the build. Getting an independant inspection eliminates missed mistakes!
Common areas that tend to get overlooked by the surveyor may end up costing you thousands down the road and endless amounts of frustration. Does the frame sit flush with the base or does it overhang? Are there broken wall plates? Does any of the framing look like it needs to be repaired or replaced? These are just a few examples of how our inspector can make sure you are getting the most out of your builder.
What You Get As Part Of Your Inspection:
  • Assessment of the frame stage
  • Review of common areas
  • Any repairs or replacements needed

STAGE THREE: Lock Up Inspection

STAGE THREE: Lock Up Inspection

A Lock Up Inspection takes place after the doors and windows have been installed making the home secure. Fascia boards and gutters will be put in place as well as the completion of the roofing. Are all the doors and windows flush and secure? How is the workmanship of the brickwork?
This is the point of the build where some of the smaller details can be overlooked. Our inspectors will be able to spot potential issues and address them so you don’t have any surprises after you have settled into your new home.
What You Get As Part Of Your Inspection:
  • Construction quality with the roofing
  • Concerns with craftsmanship of doors, windows, and wall linings
  • Any potential defects and issues

STAGE FOUR: Handover Inspection

A Handover Inspection takes place prior to the turnover of keys to you, the homeowner. We will be looking at the overall construction quality of your new home and honing in on minor defects that the builder may have overlooked. Is the fitting of doors and windows flush and are the the joints and tiles in place. Do the running boards and cabinetry need adjusting? Has the pest barrier been put in place? These are a few of the details our inspector will focus on as well as pinpointing any potential safety hazards.
What You Get As Part Of Your Inspection:
  • Overall construction quality of the home
  • Any minor defects or incomplete work
  • Any potential safety hazards
