The slab inspection is a critical foundation stage of your build and one of the four essential stages for ensuring the structural integrity of your home. While the trenching and steel fixing are assessed and certified by the consulting engineer who designed your home as a statutory requirement, structural issues can still arise during the next phases, affecting your home's long-term stability. Crucially, the consulting engineer is not required to oversee the concrete pouring process. Without professional oversight, this can lead to incorrect concrete strength, delays causing cold joints (weakened layers of partially cured concrete), or even entry points for termites. Our post-pour stage inspections ensure quality and compliance by meticulously assessing slab levels, structural dimensions, and identifying cold joints to address potential weaknesses before they become major problems. Based in the Adelaide southern suburbs, Stewart Building Consultants prioritises getting this right the first time. All inspections are conducted by Paul, a fully insured and licensed builder and supervisor with over 40 years of experience in the building industry. We provide peace of mind by ensuring your home's foundation meets the highest standards, delivering accurate, factual, and highly detailed reports within 24 hours.

It is no longer compulsory for your builder to submit a completed Regulations 74 Supervisor Checklist for wall and roof framing to the council. Today, your builder only needs to notify the council that they deem the framing stage completed. With council performance quotas indicating that possibly only 60% of all developments are actually checked, it is absolutely essential to ensure your framing is thoroughly and independently inspected. Stewart Building Consultants provides this vital independent assessment to guarantee your wall and roof framing meets all necessary industry standards and compliance requirements. Conducted by Paul, a fully licensed and insured builder with over 40 years of experience as a Project Manager, Supervisor, and Construction Manager, our inspections offer unmatched attention to detail. We act as your trusted partner, looking after your best interests and protecting your asset through sound advice. Following the inspection, you will receive an accurate, factual, and highly detailed report—complete with photographic evidence—within 24 hours. By securing an independent wall and roof framing inspection, you gain the peace of mind that the structural framework of your new home has been rigorously evaluated by an industry expert before the build progresses any further.

Our waterproofing inspection is a crucial penultimate stage assessment designed to evaluate the effectiveness of preventative measures against water damage in your new structure. A common industry pitfall is that a waterproofing certificate is only valid until the next trade comes along and disturbs the membrane; once disturbed, your warranty becomes void. The most cost-effective way to control this issue is for your tiler to employ the waterproofer and issue the certificate under their name, ensuring the tiler holds ultimate responsibility should an issue arise in the future. To protect your investment, Stewart Building Consultants will meticulously inspect the wet area waterproofing membrane before any tiling commences to ensure it is strictly Waterproofing Code compliant. All inspections are carried out by Paul, a fully licensed and insured builder with over 40 years of construction industry experience. We provide exceptional, reliable service with a high attention to detail. Following our assessment, you will receive a prompt, accurate, and factual report within 24 hours. This comprehensive report will feature clear photographic evidence to accompany our professional recommendations, giving you complete peace of mind that your home's wet areas are properly sealed and protected against costly future water damage.
