Single Storey Package
Estimated arrival time: Flexible (1-2 weeks+)
Description
The Single Storey Package is a comprehensive construction inspection service priced at $990, designed to ensure your new build progresses smoothly and meets quality standards. This package includes two detailed site visits conducted by a highly experienced local building supervisor or a Registered Builder. The first site visit takes place as soon as the roof framing is complete. During this stage, the inspector assesses the concrete slab for major cracking, exposed reinforcement, and excessive dips or ridges. The brickwork (plate height) is thoroughly checked for accurate room measurements against the plans, proper installation of cavity flashings, wire ties, hoop iron straps, and the straightness and plumb of window and door frames. The roof frame is also inspected for compliance with Australian Standards, the National Construction Code, and specific engineering requirements, including tie-down rods and welds, before the ceilings are installed. The second site visit is the Practical Completion Inspection (PCI), conducted when the home is practically complete. Allowing 60 minutes on site, this inspection covers a wide array of finishing details. The inspector evaluates overall painting quality, ceiling joins and cornices, plastering finishes, and ceramic tiling including layout, lipping, and fall towards wastes. It also includes checks on wet area waterproofing, appliance and plumbing fixture installation, sectional garage doors, carpentry, paving falls, insulation, and exhaust fan flume vents. A comprehensive written report is provided on the same day, serving as an unbiased final defects list for your builder to address prior to final handover, alleviating tension and ensuring professional resolution of all concerns.
