A pre handover inspection provides you with a comprehensive report on any defects collected during the construction of your new home, from the beginning when laying the slab to the final handover of keys. A pre handover inspection on your new home can help to minimize problems from mortar voids all the way through to scratches to the flooring and woodwork. With Bayside House Inspections, you have an expert on your side and can be assured that the new home you are building will be held to a satisfactory standard. In addition, all pre handover reports will be based on the National Construction Code and comply with Australian Standard (AS 4349. 1). Pre handover inspections are recommended at any time across the construction of a new home. One can be organised as soon as building commences, when concerns arise or prior to making your final payments. Majority of people select a pre handover inspection from the beginning of construction to ensure an independent expert oversees each stage. Renovations or extensions are also times when we recommend receiving a pre handover report. As a result, it can help to prepare the scope of work and monitor contractors. With John’s extensive building experience he will explore all of the possible building defects in places others won’t even think about. Therefore, to ensure you receive what you paid for, we consider everything from the roof frame and steel reinforcement to interiors and decorations.

A dilapidation report provides you with a comprehensive statement of the condition of a selected property that is likely to be affected by construction work, excavation or demolition. Our dilapidation reports will include things like measurements, diagrams, and photographs of any existing defects, which give an accurate picture of the state of the buildings being inspected. In addition, all our dilapidation reports comply with the Australian Standard (AS 4349. 1). Dilapidation reports and inspections can be arranged during construction works but it is recommended you get one before you are about to develop land or engage a builder to perform construction works on your property. Also, if you are the owner of an adjoining property and you are aware that works are planned it makes sense to get a report done for your own peace of mind. John's extensive background as a registered builder and qualified carpenter means that he has an expert understanding of the aspects of a house or property which is likely to be affected by nearby works. Therefore, he knows exactly what to look for.
