Stage inspections are independent checks carried out at key milestones in your home’s construction. They’re designed to ensure the work being done meets building codes and Australian Standards — because nobody wants surprises after moving in!

Here are the main stages we inspect:

• Slab (Post-Pour): Inspected after slab pour and before frame installation.
• Frame Pre-Sheet: Assessed after windows and rough-ins (plumbing, electrical, air-conditioning) but prior to wall lining.
• Enclosed/Lockup: Checked once brickwork, roof, and external wall linings are complete.
• Pre-Tile: Conducted after waterproofing and before wet area tiling and painting.
• Practical Completion Inspection: Identifying defects before final payment at practical completion.
• Hand Over Inspection: A re-inspection to verify defects have been rectified.

ur experienced inspectors will thoroughly examine your home at each stage and provide a clear, detailed report. Here’s what you can expect:

• Verification that the work complies with building codes.
• Identification of any structural or safety concerns.
• Photos and explanations of defects or issues, major or minor.
• Clear recommendations for fixing any problems.

And you’ll receive your report quickly, so you can discuss any issues with your builder without delays.
