New House Defect Inspection Reports

When buying a new home off the plan or building one from scratch, a new house defect inspection report is crucial to ensure the construction meets all required standards and compliance. Our defect inspection will identify if the home has been built to code and highlight any shoddy construction work, incomplete finishes, or problems that were covered up. The detailed report is then emailed directly to the builder for their attention, clearly outlining what the defects are before the final handover process takes place. This ensures that all issues are rectified by the builder before you take possession of the property, saving you from future headaches and out-of-pocket repair costs. We inspect all internal and external areas of the new build, providing a thorough, 100% independent, and unbiased assessment of the workmanship. As registered VBA building practitioners, we walk through the home with a trained eye, looking for structural defects, wall cracks, and other building defects within our inspection guidelines. The building inspection report makes life easier as all defects will be clearly highlighted with photos and comments. You will receive this comprehensive report on the same day of the inspection, followed by a phone call to discuss the findings, ensuring your new home is safe, secure, and built to the highest standards.

Our Pre-Handover Inspections, also known as Practical Completion Inspections (PCI), are designed to protect your investment before you take final possession of your newly constructed home. Conducted by highly qualified building inspectors with over 17 years of hands-on experience, civil engineering backgrounds, and Unlimited Builder’s Licenses, this inspection meticulously evaluates the final finishes and overall workmanship of the property. Having completed over 4,920 inspections across Melbourne and regional Victoria, our team knows exactly what to look for. We use advanced diagnostic tools to ensure accurate diagnostics for building defects. This includes cutting-edge thermal imaging that combines undiluted thermal pictures with visible light features to instantly detect hidden issues like leaks. We also utilize the ME5 Moisture Encounter to perform non-invasive moisture testing across various building materials, including drywall, wood, plaster, brick, ceramic tiles, flooring, laminates, and roofing, providing accurate results without damage. Furthermore, laser leveling is utilized to provide precise measurements, ensuring floors and surfaces are perfectly aligned and free from shifting foundations or uneven surfaces. By identifying these issues prior to settlement, we ensure that your new home meets all quality standards, preventing costly repairs down the line and giving you complete peace of mind as you move in.

Before you take possession of your newly built home, a handover inspection—also known as a practical completion inspection—is crucial to ensure everything has been completed to the required standard. Our handover inspections in Melbourne provide a detailed examination of your property before final settlement, helping to identify any construction defects, incomplete work, or non-compliance with Australian building standards and NCC Building Codes. We also check your plans and specifications to ensure you have exactly what you paid for. Our comprehensive handover inspection report assesses structural integrity across foundations, walls, ceilings, and flooring. We thoroughly check roofing and gutters, plumbing and drainage, electrical systems, windows and doors, paintwork and finishes, fixtures and fittings, and insulation and ventilation. We provide independent, unbiased, and easy-to-read reports with photographic evidence of any defects. It is best to schedule this inspection once the builder has declared practical completion but before final payment. This allows you to hold the builder accountable and get defects rectified before settlement. While a builder's warranty (DBI) provides some cover, picking up issues now while your home is still under construction will save you headaches in the long run, prevent expensive fixes years down the track, and avoid costly legal disputes.
