The Importance of Building Stages Inspections
Building a new home can be an exciting experience, but it comes with its share of challenges. At BeSafe, we understand that being aware of potential issues during the construction process is crucial. After all, once the construction is complete, rectifying problems can be both difficult and expensive.
Our Building Stages Inspections offer a proactive solution to safeguarding your investment, ensuring that potential issues are identified and addressed promptly, avoiding costly setbacks in the future. During these inspections, we may detect:
- Substandard work
- Part of the building left incomplete
- Issues related to timber pests
- Structural and non-structural faults
There are certain specifications for each of the six Stage Building Inspections:
Building Stages Inspections concentrate on pivotal phases of the construction process, offering you a detailed understanding of the ongoing work. Our expert inspectors examine crucial aspects, ensuring that no detail goes unnoticed.
- Foundation Stage Inspection: Conducted before slab pouring.
- Frame Stage Inspection: After the completion of the frame, but before starting the internal-wall linings.
- Waterproofing/Lockup Stage: When external doors and windows are in, waterproofing and flashing are complete, and the property can be locked.
- Pre-Painting/Fixing Stage: Upon completion of construction, before painting.
- Practical Completion/Handover Stage: When the building and final cleaning process is over.
- Warranty Inspection: Within one year of the completion of the building, this inspection looks for non-structural flaws. This must be done to be eligible for a home insurance warranty.
