From pre-slab to handover — licensed builders checking your build against Australian Standards, so you don't pay for someone else's mistakes.
Sydney has been plagued by cowboy builders leaving a wake of defective buildings put together by amateur tradesmen. Builders hate us, and we love it. Our dedication to thoroughness might not always sit well with builders, but it's precisely what makes us valuable allies for homeowners.
We're firmly on the side of our customers, advocating for your best interests — after all, you're paying for the project. By holding builders accountable and meticulously inspecting every stage, we make sure you get the quality and safety you deserve.
Arguably the most crucial stage of the project, yet the most overlooked. We ensure the foundations of your home are as per the Structural Engineer's drawings, AS 3600 (Concrete Structures), AS 3660 (Termite Management) and the BCA.
Once framing is complete, we offer an impartial evaluation of construction progress to verify it's ready for the next payment stage — checked against AS 1684.2 and the Engineer's structural drawings.
A crucial check before you release one of the largest stage payments — once external cladding, roof covering, doors and windows are affixed, even if temporary.
This is where your property starts to look like a home — internal cladding, skirting, tiling, waterproofing, and kitchen and bathroom completion.
Often skipped by builders — we conduct a flood test on waterproofed areas before tiling. Water outlets are blocked and the area is flooded to 50mm, then left 24 hours to check for leaks. Your builder may promise this was done; we recommend having it independently verified. You'll also receive a full waterproofing inspection report to AS 4654 and AS 3740.
The final step — a thorough review of every detail of your property, identifying defects, incomplete work, or deviations from the original plans before you take the keys.
NSW doesn't require building inspectors to be licensed builders. We are — so you get a higher standard of inspection, every time. Tell us a little about the property and one of our licensed inspectors will call you back with pricing and the next available booking.
A few details and we'll send back a fixed price the same business day — no site visit needed to quote.
Obligation-free. We'll never share your details with third parties.
