5 Stages of New Home Build Inspections

These critical five stage inspections are designed so they coincide with the progress payments of your build schedule with your builder, streamlining the process and making it easier for you.

By partnering with Eden Inspections for your stage-by-stage new build inspections you can be assured that the appropriate progress has been made for each stage of your new home and the workmanship meets the Australian Building Code, National Construction Code, Australian Standards, and is compliant, avoiding unnecessary disputes, expenses, and issues later on.

FOUNDATIONS – GET IT RIGHT FROM THE START

All slabs have their own individual specifications and are designed dependent on the soil report and specific site conditions. We check and ensure that the slab adheres to the engineer’s design and the Australian Standard 2870 for Residential Slabs & Footings.

The items we cover can include:

  • Coverage around steel reinforcement
  • Approximate waste locations
  • Incoming services
  • Termite barrier (if applicable)
  • Reinforcement
  • Waffle pods
  • Pads, beams, and footings

Our frame inspections are generally completed after the relevant building surveyor has completed their mandated inspection. This inspection ensures the frame is built as per all relevant Australian Standards and in accordance with the structural drawings.

The items we cover can include:

  • Internal and external corner studs are plumb
  • Noggins
  • Wall bracing installation
  • Top plates are straight
  • Load bearing walls and beams
  • Use of correct timber/materials
  • Truss spacings correct and trusses are vertical
  • Truss hold downs
  • Rooms square
  • Wall Height

YOUR LAST OPPORTUNITY TO CHECK THE WALLS AND ROOF FRAME

Once the electricians and plumbers have installed all pipes and cables, your home is ready for plaster. As this is NOT a mandatory building surveyor inspection, it is common for many builders and trades to cover up poor workmanship and potential defects.

The items we cover can include:

  • Cornice lines straight
  • Wall and ceiling insulation properly installed
  • Windows installed as per Australian Window Association recommendations
  • Wet areas have additional noggins
  • Check that any outstanding issues from Frame Inspection have been rectified
  • Wall frames are straight
  • Corners are straight and nailed together

WATER DAMAGE IS THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF HOME INSURANCE CLAIMS

As this is another non-mandatory building surveyor inspection, it is in your property’s best interest to ensure the waterproofing is completed to a professional standard.

The items we cover can include:

  • Bows in skirting
  • Bows in cornices lines
  • Door and architrave installation
  • Waterproof coverage
  • Waterstop installation
  • Punctures/holes in waterproof
  • Niche installation

IT IS IMPERATIVE FINAL INSPECTIONS ARE COMPREHENSIVE

This is your last opportunity to truly inspect and hold the builder to account. ALL finishes must be completed to the relevant Australian Standard. Don’t pay for a second-rate finish.

The items we cover can include:

  • Floor finishes
  • Cabinetry
  • Taps and waste pipes
  • Wet areas
  • Kitchen caulking and splashback sealed
  • Wall and floor tiling
  • Vanities, baths, basins
  • External brickwork
  • Cladding and render
  • Roof, fascia, gutters, and eaves
  • Insulation
  • Window and door frames/glazing
  • Finished ground levels around house
  • Concrete driveway and paving (if included)
  • External doors sealed
  • Internal walls, cornices and ceilings
  • Doors, architraves and skirtings

All new home building inspection reports compiled by the team at Eden Inspections feature all major and minor issues as well as photographic proof and a detailed description of the issue at hand. Building Surveyors complete only 3 mandatory inspections, and they quite often miss basic quality assurance issues.

These reports can be packaged together for a whole project, or as a one-off inspection.
