Seeing the stages of your new home being built in an understandably exciting time for any family, however, sometimes the quality of a build can be compromised. Turning what should be one of the most monumental and enjoyable stages of life, into stress and uncertainty.
This is why having a new home inspection carried out at your newly-built Geelong home by our qualified and experienced building inspectors can give you the peace of mind knowing that your home is safe and durable.
You deserve to have the building you are investing in to be of high standard quality. New home inspections are integral because only an independent building inspector works for you and knows what to look for regarding how a home should be constructed.
Why choose a New Build Inspection?
- This is your opportunity to identify any shortfalls regarding your new home, including construction, quality of finishing, safety concerns, or anything else, so that these issues are addressed before you make final payment to your builder. No matter how skilled the various teams are or how diligent the builder, once everything comes together there are bound to be items that need attention at the end – that’s why an independent inspection is so important.
- This is your new home, and we take a practical approach to the building inspection ensuring that your home inspection is conducted honestly and accurately.
- Before the inspection, we will discuss any concerns that you may have with your builder. We also acknowledge that the relationship between owner and builder is incredibly important, so we will do everything we can while conducting our business, to ensure that the relationship remains positive. At the end of the day, as independent inspectors, you are our top priority.
- With over 40 years in the industry, our new home inspection, also known as hand over or PCI (Practical Completion Inspection), will ensure that your builder fulfills his contractual requirements to build your dream home as outlined.
We recommend five critical inspections throughout the construction process; each stage of the build is like a chain – if one is missed, it can be more difficult to rectify items as the build progresses.
We typically inspect at the following critical stages:
- Pre-pour
- Frame
- Pre-plaster
- Waterproof/Fix
- Final
What you will receive:
- An extensive, easy to read report identifying any severe or unexpected faults or problems. The report is collated using a combination of checklists, summaries, pictures, and notes.
- Peace of mind and confidence in approaching your Builder to address any issues
