Arrival time

New Home Construction Stage Inspections

$440+ GST
Est. arrival time: Within 24 hours
Independent new home construction stage inspections are essential to ensure your new build meets acceptable standards, specifications, and industry quality expectations. iSPECT Building Inspections provides comprehensive stage inspections for residential properties across Harrisdale WA and Regional WA. We offer specialized assessments at critical construction milestones, including the pre-slab stage, frame stage, and lockup (pre-plaster) stage. Conducted by a licensed, fully insured, and experienced building inspector, these evaluations assess the workmanship and structural elements at each phase, identifying any defects, deviations, or poor workmanship before they are permanently covered up by subsequent building work. Our fixed-rate stage inspections include travel costs and ensure complete transparency with no hidden fees. Following each site visit, you will receive a detailed digital PDF report within 24 hours. These comprehensive reports feature severity gradings for identified issues and high-resolution color photographs to clearly document the site's condition. Raw photos with embedded geotags and date/time stamps are also available on demand. By engaging our professional inspectors throughout the construction process, you gain the necessary independent documentation to address any concerns directly with your builder or site supervisor. This proactive approach helps prevent costly future repairs and ensures a high-quality, structurally sound finish for your brand-new home.

Single Storey Package

Fixed $990inc. GST
Est. arrival time: Flexible (1-2 weeks+)
The Single Storey Package is a comprehensive construction inspection service priced at $990, designed to ensure your new build progresses smoothly and meets quality standards. This package includes two detailed site visits conducted by a highly experienced local building supervisor or a Registered Builder. The first site visit takes place as soon as the roof framing is complete. During this stage, the inspector assesses the concrete slab for major cracking, exposed reinforcement, and excessive dips or ridges. The brickwork (plate height) is thoroughly checked for accurate room measurements against the plans, proper installation of cavity flashings, wire ties, hoop iron straps, and the straightness and plumb of window and door frames. The roof frame is also inspected for compliance with Australian Standards, the National Construction Code, and specific engineering requirements, including tie-down rods and welds, before the ceilings are installed. The second site visit is the Practical Completion Inspection (PCI), conducted when the home is practically complete. Allowing 60 minutes on site, this inspection covers a wide array of finishing details. The inspector evaluates overall painting quality, ceiling joins and cornices, plastering finishes, and ceramic tiling including layout, lipping, and fall towards wastes. It also includes checks on wet area waterproofing, appliance and plumbing fixture installation, sectional garage doors, carpentry, paving falls, insulation, and exhaust fan flume vents. A comprehensive written report is provided on the same day, serving as an unbiased final defects list for your builder to address prior to final handover, alleviating tension and ensuring professional resolution of all concerns.

Double Storey Package

Fixed $1,485inc. GST
Est. arrival time: Flexible (1-2 weeks+)
The Double Storey Package is an extensive construction inspection service priced at $1485, featuring three detailed site visits to ensure exceptional quality throughout your two-storey build. The first site visit occurs as soon as the ground floor brickwork is complete. This inspection evaluates the ground floor slab for major cracking, exposed reinforcement, and surface irregularities. The ground floor brickwork is assessed for accurate room measurements, cavity flashings, wire ties, straightness of window and door frames, and room squareness. The inspector also checks structural columns, hoop iron straps, tie-down rods, and the heights of walls in preparation for the installation of upper formwork and stair voids. The second site visit focuses on the upper level, inspecting the upper slab, upper brickwork, and upper roof frame. The upper suspended slab is carefully checked for major cracking, excessive dips and ridges, the appropriate use of flashings and bond breakers, and correct set-down areas for wet areas. The upper brickwork and roof frame are then assessed for strict compliance with Australian Standards, the National Construction Code, and specific engineering details. The third and final site visit is the Practical Completion Inspection (PCI), which encompasses a thorough assessment of all completed works across both storeys. This includes evaluating painting quality, plastering, ceramic tiling, wet area waterproofing, plumbing fixtures, cabinetry, doors, windows, and external finishes like paving and brickwork. A comprehensive written report is provided on the same day, serving as an unbiased, professional defects list for the builder to rectify prior to final handover, ensuring all structural and cosmetic concerns are properly documented.

Construction Progress Inspection

From $399+ GST
Construction Progress Inspections, also known as stage inspections, are essential when building a new house to ensure your investment is protected. These inspections compare the work at each critical phase of your build against the plans and the National Construction Code (NCC) of Australia. By identifying bad workmanship and defects early, these inspections force builders to comply with Australian Standards and deliver a product fit for a paying customer, saving you from costly hidden problems in the long term. You can choose to have inspections at any of the four key stages. Stage 1 (Pre-Slab/Base) checks dimensions, excavation, termite protection, footings, and wire mesh integrity. Stage 2 (Frame) evaluates wall and roof frames, bracing, concrete slab finish, and plumbing. Stage 3 (Lock Up) assesses fascia, gutters, brickwork, roofing completion, and wall linings. Stage 4 (Handover) focuses on the quality of finishes, cabinetry, door and window fittings, tiling, and overall construction quality. For each stage requested, you will receive a detailed, customized same-day report within 24 hours, complete with comprehensive photographic evidence documenting the findings in plain English. Each stage is treated independently, empowering you to hold your builder accountable and ensuring your new home is constructed safely and to the highest standard.

Staged Construction Inspection

From $500inc. GST
Building a new house is a major investment and can be complex and daunting for those who are not familiar with the building process. Hills Building Consultants provides a comprehensive staged construction inspection program designed to thoroughly inspect each critical phase of your new build. This is particularly important in times of high demand in the building industry, which puts pressure on build quality and site supervision, leading to a high number of issues on site. While industry reports recommend mandatory independent inspections, no such inspections are required in Western Australia, leaving consumers to find issues on their own, usually after handover. Our inspections are conducted at recognized milestones: slab and footings, wall height, roof frame, and practical completion. The process begins with a review of the Council-approved drawings. During each site visit, our experienced Director, Simon Vito—a Registered Building Surveyor—compares the actual building work against these approved drawings, the National Construction Code (NCC), and relevant referenced Australian Standards. The inspections focus heavily on structural and compliance items rather than merely cosmetic or appearance issues. Identifying non-compliant or defective work early allows all parties to address and rectify the issues before they develop over the build and become significantly more difficult and expensive to fix later.

Staged new construction inspections are an essential step to ensure that building works have been completed correctly prior to releasing your progress payments. It is highly recommended that these staged inspections are conducted throughout the building process. Once a new build reaches completion, critical structural elements are permanently covered, making it impossible to know whether these vital items have been installed correctly and to standard. By engaging David Elder Building Inspections, you benefit from the expertise of a registered builder with over 40 years of industry experience. We meticulously assess the construction at key stages, spotting all defects and poor workmanship before they become hidden, costly issues down the track. We also conduct Practical Completion Inspections (PCI) at the end of the build. Following our site visit, we provide a full, highly detailed report that you can confidently present directly to your builder to demand appropriate rectifications. Reports are usually made available within 24 hours of the inspection completion. David prides himself on outstanding communication, taking the time to explain complex building technicalities in layman's terms so you fully understand the condition of your new home. From the initial stages to the final handover, our professional oversight gives you peace of mind during the stressful construction process.

Construction Progress Claim

When your builder calls for the next draw-down on your building contract, it is the ideal time to contact Building & Home Inspection Service (BHIS) to arrange a Construction Progress Claim inspection. Our highly experienced inspectors will visit your site to thoroughly assess the workmanship completed to date, ensuring it aligns with expected standards before you release further payments. Following the inspection, you will receive a comprehensive written report compiled using a series of digital photos. Each photo includes detailed narration explaining exactly what is wrong and outlining what needs to be done to rectify any problems encountered. If you have concerns about unsatisfactory workmanship during construction, clients can also arrange to meet our inspector on-site for a verbal interpretation and commentary regarding the progress. On any subsequent inspection, our team will follow up to determine if the problems identified in the previous report have been properly addressed and rectified by the builder. It is important to note that the builder cannot refuse access to the home during normal working hours. Doing so would be a direct breach of the Home Building Contracts Act of 1991. As clearly stated in Part 4, clause 26 regarding 'Access for inspection of building work', the builder must not prevent the owner or an authorised person from inspecting the home building work to which the contract relates. If the owner or authorised person is acting by the contract, refusal of access is punishable by a $1000.00 fine. This service provides essential oversight, protecting your investment and ensuring your home is built correctly at every stage.

Ensure your newly built home in Perth meets the highest quality and safety standards with our meticulous progress completion inspections. Building a home is a significant investment, and our independent inspections act as a crucial safeguard against subpar workmanship and materials. We thoroughly evaluate your property at five critical stages of construction to ensure strict compliance with the National Construction Code, the Building Code of Australia, and WA Standards. Our process begins with the Pre-Slab stage, where we verify ground preparation, formwork, and plumbing infrastructure before any concrete is poured. Next, the Wall to Plate Height inspection checks wall frame alignment, structural integrity, and material quality. During the Roof Framing stage, we inspect trusses, bracing, and load-bearing points before the roof cover is installed to ensure absolute structural soundness. The Lock Up stage ensures that external doors, windows, and weatherproofing are secure, protecting the interior from the elements. Finally, the Handover stage involves a comprehensive walk-through to check plumbing, electrical systems, fixtures, and finishes. Identifying deviations early prevents costly rework and delays down the line. We provide detailed reports complete with high-quality photos, empowering you to negotiate effectively with your builder and ensuring your dream residence is constructed with absolute precision and care.

Frame Stage Inspection

Est. arrival time: Within 24 hours
The frame stage inspection is one of the most crucial steps in the construction of your new home. This stage ensures that the structural framework, including walls, roof, and floor, is built to comply with Australian Standards and building codes. A frame stage inspection occurs after the wooden or steel framework of your home is completed but before external cladding or internal plastering is installed. This inspection verifies that the structure complies with approved building plans and meets engineering specifications. Key areas assessed during this inspection include wall and roof frame alignment to ensure the framework is straight, level, and aligned properly. We verify structural bracing and tie-downs to handle environmental forces, and check window and door openings for accuracy to ensure proper fitting. We also review beams, supports, trusses, and connections to meet engineering and design requirements. The frame serves as the skeleton of your home, and undetected issues during this stage can result in expensive fixes later. Our comprehensive inspection provides early detection of structural defects, compliance assurance with the Building Code of Australia, and detailed documentation with photos and action points to prevent costly delays. We evaluate the quality of materials used, including timber or steel, ensuring your property’s structural integrity is secure from the ground up.

Not just for the purpose of bank payments, now some new homeowners want progress building inspections carried out to ensure a high standard of work throughout the build. With so many post-construction disputes BIAS are called on to mediate, waiting until the practical completion inspection only to find a substantial list of defects at the end of construction can cause you delays and compromise quality. Regular inspections completed by BIAS throughout the construction will be of huge benefit to you. We offer 6 different stages of building inspections to monitor your project. During the Foundation and Base or Pre Pour Stage, we check the design of foundations and footings, site conditions, under-slab services including drainage and plumbing, and termite control barriers. At the Frame Stage, we visually check that all framing is straight and plumb, wall frame member spacings are adequate, and the roof truss or frame is installed, tied down, and braced. At the Lock-Up and Waterproofing Stage, we inspect roofing, brickwork, damp proofing, and the critical waterproof membrane to showers and wet areas to prevent long-term structural damage. Finally, at the Fixing and Pre-Painting Stage, we ensure doors, windows, skirting, architraves, and ceiling or wall linings are fitted to acceptable standards. This comprehensive stage-by-stage approach ensures your new home is built correctly.

Under Construction Inspections

From $495inc. GST
Having regular under construction inspections on your house ensures that the home you are left with is exactly the one you paid for. Undertaken during the building process by an impartial third party, these inspections make sure your build is executed according to the approved plans, the National Construction Code, and relevant Australian Standards. We perform inspections at key building milestones to pick up structural issues, workmanship defects, and deviations from the plans before they escalate into major, costly problems. Our comprehensive staged inspections can be tailored to your needs and include a Plans Check to review buildability and design. During the Slab Down stage, we check services, footings, earthworks, and block levels. The Brickwork inspection ensures brick ties, insulation, lintels, frame ties, and weepholes meet structural and aesthetic standards. Our Roof On inspection covers the roof frame, cover, and plumbing to guard against leaks and sags. At Waterproofing and Lock-Up, we examine screeds, windows, doors, services rough-in, plastering, and cabinets. Finally, our Practical Completion Inspection (PCI) provides a thorough room-by-room and elevation-by-elevation assessment to compile a comprehensive defect list before final handover. We also offer specialized upper floor slab and brickwork inspections. Building a house can be a complicated and stressful process, but our fully insured, registered building inspectors—many with over 15 years of experience—provide clear, simple, and actionable reports to keep your builder accountable and ensure your new Perth home is built right from start to finish.

In Construction Checks

Australian Home Inspections provides dedicated in-construction checks for new home builds in Perth. Because building a new house is typically the largest purchase most people will ever make, having an independent Perth building inspector review the progress ensures that the construction meets acceptable standards. For a relatively small fee, it makes sense to have as much unbiased information as possible about the house you are about to build. Our in-construction checks are designed to help you avoid expensive surprises. It is significantly better to know about certain construction issues before they become your cost to repair, rather than discovering them months after you have moved in and been living in the house. Very often, unaddressed building defects can require homeowners to spend thousands, or even tens of thousands of dollars, to put the house in a proper, safe condition. During our inspections, we regularly find concerns such as improper fixing methods, crooked or misaligned walls, floors, and ceilings, inappropriate waterproofing measures, active water entry, and improper roof tie-downs. By catching these issues early during the construction stages before they are covered up, clients can address them directly with their builder. The money you spend on getting your new build inspected during construction means you may very well end up saving many times over your initial investment, ensuring ultimate peace of mind.

Construction Stage Inspections

From $440inc. GST
Independent building inspections are performed at different stages of the building process to ensure quality of construction and compliance with approved plans, building codes, and Australian Standards. The four main construction stages inspected are Slab, Frame, Lock Up, and Handover. The Slab inspection involves the prepared floor area before pouring concrete, checking beams, footings, dimensions, excavation, steel placement, wire mesh, moisture membranes, and termite protection barriers. The Frame inspection assesses the structural framework after it has been granted approval from a building surveyor. This includes checking the concrete slab, door and window openings, plumbing and drainage, wall, roof, and truss frames, as well as bracing and spacing. The Lock Up inspection occurs when doors and windows are installed and the structure can be secured. At this stage, the inspector reviews brickwork, ceilings, cornices, internal wall linings, external lock functionality, gutters, fascias, and the roof. Finally, the Handover inspection looks at the quality of construction and finishing, identifying minor defects, safety hazards, cabinetry, fixtures, and overall construction quality. Engaging an independent expert protects the buyer from significant and dangerous defects that may not be visible to the untrained eye and whose problematic effects may not show up for years. We also offer a Contract Review stage to ensure the building contract complies with all relevant building codes, and a 6 Month Maintenance Inspection to identify any defects that may have developed after the homeowner has moved in. Booking a four-stage package ensures a dedicated building inspector is assigned to attend all inspections for a consistent and professional outcome.
