During the construction of new properties, it is important to keep a constant check on the state of the construction to ensure overall success and proper structural integrity. Construction stage inspections are critical milestones in every residential build in Australia. These typically include the pre-pouring slab (base) stage, framing stage, lock-up stage, fixing stage, and waterproofing stage. The pre-pouring slab inspection takes place before concrete is poured, once formwork and reinforcement steel are installed. The framing stage forms the skeleton of the building and is assessed to ensure it has been completed without major defects that could compromise the structure, whether using timber or steel. The lock-up stage verifies that the building envelope is complete before the builder issues a payment claim for lock-up stage completion. Waterproofing stage inspections address the rising incidence of defects in wet areas within the construction industry. Engaging an independent inspector at each stage ensures that nothing is ignored or overlooked by your builders, providing peace of mind throughout the construction process. When building a home, there are a series of steps that need to be completed in order to finish the build. Contract Altez and we will inspect at each stage to ensure overall success and proper structural integrity.
