Finalinspect specializes in conducting completely independent new apartment pre-settlement inspections across Melbourne, the Eastern Suburbs, and the Mornington Peninsula. With over 30 years of experience in the residential construction industry, their highly trained inspectors ensure your new apartment is built and finished in strict compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC), the Building Code of Australia (BCA), relevant Australian Standards, and manufacturer installation instructions. As the original firm specializing in this field since 1999, Finalinspect provides comprehensive assessments that exceed the Australian Industry Standard AS 4349.1. The meticulous inspection covers every section of the apartment, including balcony areas, storage cages, and allocated vehicle parking spaces. Inspectors thoroughly evaluate fire safety systems, such as smoke alarms and sprinklers, as well as building and apartment security. The detailed checklist includes testing water pressure, drainage flow rates across all wet areas, and the correct installation and sealing of basins, sinks, baths, and laundry troughs. Furthermore, all appliances—including hot water services, air conditioners, ovens, dishwashers, and exhaust fans—are tested for proper operation. Finalinspect also checks draught seals, the alignment of doors, drawers, and cabinets, carpet and floor coverings, GPOs, light switches, window and door locks, and the quality of paint finishes. High-quality measuring equipment, such as moisture meters, is used to detect leaks and water damage. Within 24 hours, clients receive a plain-English, detailed report outlining the exact location of any defects, why they are non-compliant, and the required rectification works. This empowers buyers to confidently defer their final payment or settlement until the developer or builder resolves all outstanding issues. Clients also benefit from a free telephone advisory service for up to six years after moving in.
