New Build & Stage Inspections in Victoria

Construction moves quickly, and some work becomes difficult to see once the next stage begins. An independent new build stage inspection documents accessible work at an agreed point in construction, helping you raise visible concerns with your builder.

Plan the inspection around the building program

Send the property address, current construction stage and the builder’s expected dates. Booking early helps coordinate access before relevant work is covered. If the construction program changes, tell us promptly so availability and the proposed inspection time can be reviewed.

Slab pre-pour observations

Our website includes real pre-pour inspection photographs showing formwork, reinforcement mesh, waffle pods, service penetrations and membrane installation. The accessible condition at the time of inspection is documented before concrete placement. Confirm which preparation items are included in your agreed scope.

Fixing-stage and construction progress

At fixing stage, visible work can include internal finishing progress and wet-area waterproofing before finishes are completed. The exact items available to inspect depend on site progress and access. Share any particular concerns and relevant documents when requesting a quote.

From findings to a discussion with your builder

Photographs and written observations give you a clear record to discuss with the builder. An independent inspection does not replace the builder’s responsibilities or required statutory inspections. If you are approaching handover, a Practical Completion Inspection may be the more suitable service.

Common questions

Do I need every stage inspected?

The appropriate booking depends on your project and the work you want reviewed. Send the construction program and ask us to discuss the available inspection scope and timing.

Can an inspection assess work already covered?

A visual inspection is limited by what is accessible. Work concealed by concrete, linings or finishes may not be available to assess at a later stage.
