Experienced and professional building inspectors use a comprehensive inspection checklist during their inspection that helps identify whether the workmanship and construction on the project have been carried out in line with the National Construction Code and relevant Australian Standards.
The assessment is based on a Building Consultants opinion of the quality of construction and what would be reasonably acceptable for the purchaser.

#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.
