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 as the owner in ensuring you are receiving a newly constructed building that you are completely satisfied with. 

 

why get stage inspections?

Having been popular in the Southern states for a while, Stage Inspections are now becoming common place in Queensland too.  Stage Inspections occur at the 5 critical stages of your build. The purpose is to ensure all work is completed to a high standard as per the Australian Standards and QBCC Standards and Tolerances Guide. At Informed Building Inspections we offer the following Stage Inspections: 

Stage 1 – Pre-Slab Concrete Pour Inspection

Stage 2 – Frame Inspection

Stage 3 – Lock Up/Pre-Plaster Inspection

Stage 4 – Fixing Stage/Waterproofing/Pre-Paint Inspection

Our inspectors are highly experienced both as licensed builders as well as building inspectors. With extensive experience working as builders, our inspectors know what it takes to ensure a quality build. 

Our team are here to guide you through the process and assist in protecting your asset from critical errors or defects along the way. Each stage offers comprehensive reporting allowing you to discuss all findings with your builder and ensure areas of concern and defects are rectified.
