Defects Reports
Checking a new home construction is all about evaluating the building before elements are hidden. The way we deal with this is to inspect the construction at various stages.
Recommended stage inspections for a New Home Inspection:
#1 Base/Slab
The professional will inspect the slab dimensions and the footing, waffle pods, waterproof membrane as well as the steel reinforcement in the structure.
#2 Frame
This includes a detailed inspection of the steel and timber framework.
#3 Lock-up
This includes a detailed inspection of the external wall claddings including roofing and external joinery.
#4 Pre-Lining
Inspection of the pre-plaster isn’t aligned to a specific stage of construction. However, the recommendation is that this check should be conducted at the framing & lock-up stages.
#5 Final Fix
All internal architraves, skirting, cabinets and cupboards, cladding, doors, baths, basins built-in shelves, troughs, sinks, are installed & fixed in position ready for a coat of paint. This particular inspection is done to identify whether there are any plastering defects that require fixing before painting.
#6 Practical Completion
This inspection takes place once the construction is complete (the builder’s contractual obligations have been finalized), and the home is presented to the client.
