WHAT TYPE OF HOME INSPECTIONS ARE THERE?
You don't imagine you'll need a building inspector, until suddenly, you do...handy that we offer all kinds of building inspection services!
Stage Inspections
Building your new home? Working out your finishes, finalising plans and getting approvals can be all-consuming but it's just the beginning...You want things to go smoothly once your builder has broken ground! Sure, your builder has to get the certifiers through at key times in the build, but they aren’t there to comment on the quality of the work. They are there to tick boxes and make sure that the work complies with the Australian Standard but not much else…If you are building for the first time or if you've done this a few times, it's vital that you have a second set of eyes on the process, looking out for your best interests. There are 5 different stages that we address: The pre-slab stage, frame stage, pre-lining/lockup, waterproofing and practical completion.
Defect Reports
Is there something wrong with your property but you're not sure what it is or how to fix it, or do you just need it to be accurately documented? We investigate the issue for you, report on it and come up with a clear path forward. It could be a renovation gone wrong, it could be mysterious cracking or moisture defects. We'll get to the bottom of it.
Your local, independant building inspector - covering a few key types of building inspections
Dilapidation Reports
A snap shot in time. In suburbia, development can happen next door at any time - if you live next to a development site where buildings are being torn down and put back up, you want to make sure your property is not harmed by the disturbance. This is where we come in - our thorough building inspection report will detail exactly how your property looks prior to any work next door and that way, you have a leg to stand on if the earth moves and your property is affected. Likewise, if you’re a builder and you want to cover yourself in case of future claims, it’s important to have a dilapidation report in your back pocket.
Handover Inspections
You've built a new home and you want an independent, experienced eye cast over your builder's work. That may seem awkward...but not as awkward as trying to argue with your builder over something that doesn't feel right or getting them to come back to fix something months after you've paid and they've moved on. We're not here to argue, just give a professional interpretation of the Building Code of Australia, and how it's been applied to your property.
