The home handover inspection will be the final inspection of the package, and no re-inspection will occur afterwards.
- Thermal imaging inspection: By inspecting all 5 major stages of the build, we ensure that every stage it is built to meet National Construction Code (NCC) and Australian standards, assuring you will be getting the quality-built dream home you deserve to have.
The scope of our stage inspections includes, but is not limited to:
- Slab pre-pour inspection:
This includes the inspection of your home’s base, piers, vapour barrier, termite barrier/collar, steel, and formwork before pouring concrete. This ensures the site is properly prepared and ready for concrete, usually scheduled for the day following the inspection.
- Framing stage inspection:
Our new build house inspection specialists will evaluate the wall and roof frames to ensure they are structurally sound and constructed according to the National Construction Code, Australian Standard 1684, engineering plans, bracing and panel plans, and framing plans.
- Lock-up/pre-plaster stage inspection:
This stage is usually conducted when a home’s external wall cladding and roof covering are fixed, flooring is laid, and external doors and windows are installed (even if temporarily). This also includes checking the completion of internal electrical and plumbing rough-ins.
- Fixing stage inspection:
This is performed upon completion of plaster linings and the application of the waterproofing membrane in all wet areas. Before tiles are laid, our inspector ensures that the plasterboard and waterproofing installation comply with relevant standards.
- PCI/Pre-handover inspection:
This stage is also known as Practical Completion Inspections (PCI) or Pre-handover Inspections. The final stage of our staged inspection verifies that everything is completed to standard before you take possession of your new home.
