Inspection Stages
Pre-Paint (Fix and Waterproofing)
These two inspections are carried out at the same time.
Slab
This inspection covers all aspects of the plasterwork, including skirting, architraves, and cornices. We also check all doors and windows, along with fittings and fixtures such as cabinetry. Additionally, we inspect the brickwork which at this time is usually completed but not yet cleaned or caulked.
Any defects identified during your pre-plaster or lockup inspection will also be re-checked and addressed in this report to ensure nothing is missed.

Waterproofing
A must if building a double storey home, we inspect all wet areas and balconies.
This inspection is carried out after the builder has completed the waterproofing of the wet areas within your home. Given that incorrectly installed waterproofing systems remains one of the most problematic issues that home owners face, and the subsequent leaking showers and wet areas, an ever-increasing number of our clients now want this inspection carried out to ensure that their wet areas have been properly waterproofed.
