New home stage by stage inspection is to ensure the house is built with the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and referenced Australian Standards. Even if your builder is a perfectionist and careful, there’s always a chance that something may be overlooked. Every new home build is different, and these inspections are critical in preventing major defects and issues that may arise in the future. Inspecta Holmes (Certificate IV in Building & Construction) is to be involved for the duration of the building project to inspect each stage of the construction. We are totally independent to the builders to ensure that we can carry out all inspections at arms length. Our role is to ensure certifiable compliance is met with your builder. It is not part of their role to determine whether a departure from approved plans is permissible, nor it is not up to them to judge the quality of your builder’s workmanship. Depending on your level of experience, you can either alert the builder to any quality concerns you have along the way, or may want to engage an independent building consultant to inspect on general quality and help manage contractual issues.
