New Construction Staged Inspections
A Staged Inspection is a series of independent checks carried out at critical stages during the construction of a new home. These inspections ensure that each phase of the build meets industry standards, construction codes, and design specifications — before moving on to the next.
Why Staged Inspections Are Important
- Catch issues early before they become costly or hidden behind walls.
- Protect your investment by verifying quality and compliance at every step.
- Independent assurance for peace of mind that the builder is meeting expectations.
Typical Inspection Stages
1. Slab/Pre Slab Inspection
Checks formwork, reinforcements, and plumbing before concrete is poured.
2. Frame Inspection
Assesses wall, roof, and floor framing for structural accuracy and compliance.
3. Lock-up/Pre-Plaster Inspection
Verifies windows, doors, electrical and plumbing rough-ins before plasterboard is installed.
4. Fixing Stage Inspection
Reviews internal fittings like cabinetry, skirting, architraves, and waterproofing.
5. Final/Pre-Handover Inspection
A detailed check of all finishes, functionality, and workmanship before you move in.
The Outcome
You receive a detailed, stage-by-stage report that identifies any issues early – allowing timely corrections by the builder and ensuring your new home is built right from the ground up.
