Est. arrival time: Flexible (1-2 weeks+)
For clients building a new home with a registered builder or acting as an owner-builder, we offer comprehensive 4 x Stage Building Inspections throughout the entire construction process. We systematically assess critical phases of the build, including the initial concrete slab, the wall and roof frames, exterior cladding, wet area waterproofing, and the final interior fit-out. This ensures that everything meets strict quality standards and building regulations at every phase of construction. Having an independent expert monitor your build provides invaluable peace of mind. These stage inspections are conducted by Carlo Macri, a licensed builder (BLD212069) with over 25 years of hands-on experience in civil, commercial, and residential construction. Carlo's extensive background on the tools—including bricklaying, tiling, and concreting—gives him an unmatched understanding of proper building processes and structural integrity. He can easily identify substandard work or quick fixes before they are covered up by subsequent construction phases. After each stage inspection, you will receive a detailed digital photographic report, generally within 24 hours, highlighting any defects or areas requiring remedial work by your contractor. Our proactive approach empowers you to hold builders accountable, ensuring your new property is constructed safely and correctly across the Adelaide region.

Staged Building Inspections

Staged building inspections are independent checks carried out during construction, separate from the builder’s own supervision. Building a new home is stressful enough without wondering what your builder has missed, which is why we provide another set of experienced eyes at key milestones so defects are picked up while they are easier and cheaper to fix. We attend the site at agreed stages, compare the work against plans, basic NCC, and Australian Standards requirements, and look for workmanship issues that might lead to movement, water leaks, or premature failure. Typical stages include slab or footing inspection, frame inspection, pre-lining or lock-up inspection, waterproofing, wet area checks, and a practical completion inspection (PCI). At each visit, the focus is on structure, framing details, bracing, fixings, flashing, falls, waterproofing, general workmanship, and obvious safety issues. Our advanced assessments include checking complex roof structures with drone technology, precision checks for frame alignment using digital levels, reviewing roof space insulation and ducting installations, comprehensive timber roof truss framing inspections, and checking crucial box gutters and drainage points. Leveraging a strong construction background and extensive time spent on active building sites across Adelaide, we understand how volume builders operate and common shortcuts to watch for. You receive written feedback highlighting defects and incomplete work with clear photos and comments that you can share with your supervisor or builder, ensuring issues are addressed before the next stage starts. Our goal is to support you to get the home you paid for, ensuring quality assurance throughout your build process.

HomeMasters provides independent staged building inspections for new home builds in Adelaide, ensuring that construction complies with relevant Australian Standards and building codes. This service keeps builders fully accountable before any stage payments are made and helps identify minor issues before they develop into costly problems later in the build. The inspections cover the four critical stages of construction. First is the Footing Inspection, which checks positioning, reinforcements, formwork, and termite protection around pipe penetrations before the slab is poured. Second is the Slab, Wall, and Roof Framing Inspection, where inspectors check framing layouts, truss layouts, strapping, and bracing to ensure the durability of wall frames and roof structures. All timber framing is checked for full compliance with AS1684, including verifying that walls are straight and do not overhang the concrete slab. Third is the Wet Area Inspection, ensuring internal wet areas and balconies are suitably waterproofed with correct run-off gradients, compliant with AS3740 and AS4654. Finally, the Completion Inspection is a thorough final check before handover, covering paint finishes, sanitary installations, cabinetry, floor coverings, tiling, grouting, cornices, ceilings, architraves, and skirtings. Buyers receive a comprehensive report at the end of each stage, and inspectors will communicate directly with the builder regarding any defects or non-compliance issues found.

Beyond Built Inspections thoroughly inspects new homes at any or all stages of construction to ensure your build meets or exceeds all relevant Australian Standards, the Building Code of Australia, and best trade practices. Often, construction supervisors are not registered builders, making independent oversight vital. Our team of fully qualified, licensed builders carefully assesses the 'bones' of the building, ensuring a sound structure before the installation of plaster linings, services, roof sealing, and the cleaning of wall cavities. We systematically check approved structural documentation onsite to ensure the home is built exactly as certified. The service offers comprehensive staged inspections including: Footings (inspected by an engineer), Wall and Roof Frame, Brick Work and Roof Cover, 2nd Fix or Lock Up, and Handover/Practical Completion (with additional inspections available for double-storey homes). We also offer optional post-building inspections for the 90-Day Maintenance Warranty Period and the Five-Year Statutory Warranty Period. This crucial independent oversight protects clients from poor workmanship that an untrained eye would miss, such as inadequate roof tie-down straps or poor brickwork bonding and tying. By detecting these defects early, we ensure your builder delivers a compliant, structurally sound home, saving you from future stress and costly structural failures.

Waterproofing Inspections

Fixed $480inc. GST
Our waterproofing inspection is a crucial penultimate stage assessment designed to evaluate the effectiveness of preventative measures against water damage in your new structure. A common industry pitfall is that a waterproofing certificate is only valid until the next trade comes along and disturbs the membrane; once disturbed, your warranty becomes void. The most cost-effective way to control this issue is for your tiler to employ the waterproofer and issue the certificate under their name, ensuring the tiler holds ultimate responsibility should an issue arise in the future. To protect your investment, Stewart Building Consultants will meticulously inspect the wet area waterproofing membrane before any tiling commences to ensure it is strictly Waterproofing Code compliant. All inspections are carried out by Paul, a fully licensed and insured builder with over 40 years of construction industry experience. We provide exceptional, reliable service with a high attention to detail. Following our assessment, you will receive a prompt, accurate, and factual report within 24 hours. This comprehensive report will feature clear photographic evidence to accompany our professional recommendations, giving you complete peace of mind that your home's wet areas are properly sealed and protected against costly future water damage.
