It looks like you're part way through your build. Do you also need these following progress inspections?
$450.00
Add
A suspended slab inspection occurs for additional levels. It follows similar principles to a slab inspection but includes structural beam locations and air conditioning penetrations. It reviews the slab integrity and checks everything matches the floor plans and engineers’ drawings.
$450.00
Add
A roof frame inspection occurs when the roof timbers/frame have been installed. It ensures the roof frame is to code, with no sagging or distortion and the correct bracing materials have been used.
Pending on the structure of the building, once double storey plans have been reviewed there could be additional charges.
$750.00
Add
Practical Completion occurs once the home reaches its intended use, i.e., habitation. This is also the milestone linked to the final payment and key handover.
A Practical Completion Inspection, or Handover Inspection, occurs just before actual handover. It is your last chance to ensure everything is up to standard before the builder hands over the project.
This inspection can be purchased as a standalone inspection at the end of your build process or as part of our Construction Inspection Package.
