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.
