Commercial Construction Stages

Trust Victoria’s leading commercial building inspectors for independent and fair assessments of new construction stages. With the construction of a new commercial building, mandatory inspections are carried out by building surveyors to ensure regulatory standards are being met. However, the quality of workmanship and materials, plus adherence to your specific specifications, is not generally their focus. For that reason, the time spent on the property by a standard surveyor is generally far less than that of an independent inspector. SPI Property Inspections provides experienced builders who truly understand the building process and know ideal construction outcomes. Acting as an advocate for the owner, our inspectors can scrutinise the building on your behalf and flag any defects along the way so they can be dealt with early. With each subsequent stage they inspect, our team can ensure that faults are rectified before the construction continues. We offer a comprehensive series of building inspections, or you can select specific ones you require. Our construction stage inspections include preliminary site inspections, footings and slab, frame, roof, plumbing and electrical location, final interior, exterior, and landscape inspections, as well as ongoing maintenance inspections. We service all of Melbourne and its inner suburbs, along with the Bayside, Eastern, Northern, and Western suburbs, as well as the Bellarine and Mornington Peninsula. Following our assessment, you will receive a comprehensive property inspection report delivered directly from our custom iPad application, in most cases within 24 hours of the completion of your inspection.

Dream Home Inspections

Our meticulous inspectors have excellent attention to detail and will ensure no stone will go unturned throughout every stage of the practical completion inspection (PCI) for your new home. You must schedule your pre-completion inspection with a professional independent inspector once your builder has advised you that they have completed the contracted works and have addressed all your previous concerns raised during the build. Don’t fall into the trap of doing the inspection yourself, or believing that your builders warranty will cover any defects, so you don’t need to worry about a professionally completed PCI before your new home is signed off as complete by your builder. We strongly advise all our clients to ensure every defect is identified, urgently flagged and properly resolved by the builder before completion of each major stage of the build and prior to you taking possession of your new property. It is beneficial to have all structural and cosmetic defects rectified before taking possession to avoid endless, expensive and emotionally-draining disputes over your new home or investment. This will be the last opportunity for you and your family to have one last chance to make sure the builder has done their job. Certain construction defects such as a leaking roof are difficult and expensive to remediate while you are living in the property and can cause damage to other personal goods. In addition, you want to avoid disputes with the builder relating to damage that can be incorrectly attributed to occupancy. While the builder is compelled by law to provide post occupancy warranties and maintenance guarantees, a professionally conducted PCI building inspection is critically important and we recommend that it must not be omitted for your own protection and peace of mind.

New Construction Inspections

Building a new home is an exciting journey, but it also comes with numerous complexities and potential pitfalls. While a building surveyor will conduct inspections at certain stages to ensure compliance with the National Construction Code and Australian Standards, these checks do not cover all aspects of Standards and Tolerances, and sometimes critical details can be overlooked. New Construction Inspections act as vigilant eyes on site, providing detailed, informed reports on the condition of the build, step by step. Inspectors conduct thorough examinations at every critical stage of the construction process. From the initial foundation laying to the final finishing touches, they meticulously check for adherence to quality standards and identify any issues that may arise. This includes verifying the quality of materials used, ensuring proper installation techniques, and confirming that the work meets the specified standards and tolerances. Each inspection results in a comprehensive report that highlights the condition of the build, noting any discrepancies or concerns that need attention. These reports empower property owners with the information needed to address issues promptly with the builder, ensuring that problems are rectified before they become costly or complicated. By catching potential issues early, delays and additional expenses can be avoided, ensuring the project stays on track and within budget. New Construction Inspections provide peace of mind, knowing that an independent expert is monitoring the quality and progress of the new home. This service complements the work of building surveyors, offering an additional layer of scrutiny to safeguard the investment and ensure the home is built to the highest standards.
