Independent New Home Staged Inspectors
When building a new home it is important to ensure each milestone is met completely. A lot can go wrong at each stage, but a professional inspection can detect defects that the builder may have missed. This saves additional expense or hold-ups in the later stages, or problems after you move in. A series of inspections are critical in assessing the quality of workmanship and ensuring your home is structurally sound for many years to come. Independent Building Inspectors will meet you on-site to identify defects at every stage. We inspect the following, at each stage of the build:
- Footings and slab inspection
- Framing inspection
- Lockup stage inspection
- Waterproofing inspection
- Practical completion inspection prior to key hand over
- Fixing inspection
- New home warranty advice.
Pre-Purchase Building Inspections
Before buying any home, it's absolutely vital to organise a pre-purchase building inspection. Doing so can prevent you from inheriting any nasty issues and unhidden costs later down the line. At Independent Building Inspections, we offer comprehensive pre-purchase inspections guaranteed to help you make an informed buying decision. Our qualified inspectors will provide you with a detailed report outlining any property defects, hazards, or issues to be concerned about. Don't get stuck with a dodgy buy.
