Construction

Building or renovating with an established builder you probably don't need a progress construction inspection by an independent company because -

Builders don't make mistakes
Or take short cuts
Or cover up problems

Most builders are reputable but you do not want to get caught with one that is not.

Stages of Inspections

We have a full construction package of inspections we can offer you to make sure you are getting what you paid for.

These are completed at 4 different stages of the building process.

Slab down
Brickwork to plate height
Roof Completion
Hand Over

What We Look At For You

We check that all the work completed is done so in accordance with the plans.

We also check that the materials used are at Australian Standards and meet Australian Codes.

The Inspector will also make sure that the workmanship is at an industry standard.

You are then issued with a typed report that will stand up in a court of law if needed listing all items to be rectified by the builder.

For your peace of mind, our inspectors will ensure when you're asked for a progress payment that you are really getting what you have requested and paid for from the builder.
