In the current challenging climate of construction we encourage both Handover and Stage Inspections to ensure no corners have been cut and construction is completed to a very high standard. Our inspections ensure your build is to the Australian Standards and meet the QBCC Standards and Tolerances.

why get a handover inspection?

Handover or Practical Completion Inspections are conducted on newly constructed properties before final payments are made to ensure the new home is finished to an acceptable standard. These inspections take place before the new build is handed over to the owner to identify any defects and assess the workmanship completed by the builder and relevant trades. This provides the owners with a document containing photographic evidence and a summary or areas requiring additional work prior to handover of the keys. Your builder can then conduct their own rectifications and contact appropriate trades to touch up or resolve any defects identified.

Informed Building Inspections will identify if there is any incomplete works, safety hazards, major defects or relevant minor defects as per the Australian Standards and QBCC Standards and Tolerances Guide. We will assess the quality of finishes throughout the building including the ceilings, walls, tiling and joinery. We will ensure that all taps, toilets and showers are working and without leaks. All areas should be completed to an acceptable standard, including the fit out of windows, doors and cabinetry. We support you the owner in ensuring you are receiving a newly constructed building that you are completely satisfied with.

Trusted advice that comes from quality equipment and experience

We complete each Building and Pest Inspection using the most accurate and non-invasive equipment and techniques to ensure that you can purchase your property with confidence. One piece of equipment we carry is the Termatrac T3i All Sensor which uses radar, moisture or thermal detection. The unique 3-in-1 design incorporates Termatrac’s patented radar technology, relative and direct moisture sensor as well as a thermal sensor for extra confidence. The T3i All Sensor was designed to help operators locate, confirm and track the presence and extent of termite and other pest activity. We use this equipment throughout the property to inspect accessible areas such as walls, floors, and ceilings for timber pests, leaks or potential excess and unexplained moisture.

The Tramex Moisture Meter provides an instant and accurate moisture reading to surfaces such as cabinetry, drywall, plaster and masonry. This non-invasive equipment provides a detailed understanding of any surfaces within the property that require further investigation. If a high moisture reading is identified your inspection report will detail the pin point location/s where high moisture has been observed and recommend appropriate trades.

Our Thermal Imaging Camera is the perfect tool for identifying where water leaks are occurring and what may be causing the water ingress. This powerful device converts thermal imaging into a picture.

These pieces of equipment act as an important tool to assist in the understanding of what is occurring beyond what is obvious to the naked eye. Scott is highly trained and has extensive experience in using all equipment detailed above. If you have particular areas of concern please contact us to arrange an inspection.
