Construction Progress Inspections, also known as stage inspections, are essential when building a new house to ensure your investment is protected. These inspections compare the work at each critical phase of your build against the plans and the National Construction Code (NCC) of Australia. By identifying bad workmanship and defects early, these inspections force builders to comply with Australian Standards and deliver a product fit for a paying customer, saving you from costly hidden problems in the long term. You can choose to have inspections at any of the four key stages. Stage 1 (Pre-Slab/Base) checks dimensions, excavation, termite protection, footings, and wire mesh integrity. Stage 2 (Frame) evaluates wall and roof frames, bracing, concrete slab finish, and plumbing. Stage 3 (Lock Up) assesses fascia, gutters, brickwork, roofing completion, and wall linings. Stage 4 (Handover) focuses on the quality of finishes, cabinetry, door and window fittings, tiling, and overall construction quality. For each stage requested, you will receive a detailed, customized same-day report within 24 hours, complete with comprehensive photographic evidence documenting the findings in plain English. Each stage is treated independently, empowering you to hold your builder accountable and ensuring your new home is constructed safely and to the highest standard.
