What is Construction Stage Inspection?

Construction Stage Inspection is a vital part of the building process that involves a professional inspector closely examining and evaluating key construction milestones. In Perth, our services encompass four essential stages:

Slab Stage:

The slab stage is the foundational phase of the construction process, and it's absolutely critical to ensure that it's executed correctly. At this stage, a concrete slab is poured to create the base upon which your home will be built. Here's what happens during the slab stage inspection:

  • Proper Alignment: The inspector checks that the concrete slab is level, properly aligned, and accurately corresponds to the architectural plans. This is essential because any misalignment at this stage can lead to structural problems and uneven flooring in the completed structure.

  • Reinforcement: It's crucial to confirm that the reinforcement, such as steel mesh or rebar, is correctly placed within the concrete slab. Proper reinforcement ensures the slab's strength and durability, which is vital for the stability of your home.

  • Concrete Pouring: The quality of the concrete pour is assessed for consistency, strength, and the absence of air pockets or voids. This is necessary to guarantee that your home's foundation is solid and free from defects.

Brickwork Stage:

During the brickwork stage, the walls and external structure of your home take shape. Here's what our inspection entails:

  • Structural Integrity: The inspector ensures that the brickwork is constructed to provide the necessary structural strength. This means checking for proper mortar application, wall alignment, and wall ties to prevent bowing or leaning walls.

  • Proper Bonding: It's essential that bricks are correctly bonded to prevent gaps, cracks, or uneven surfaces. Proper bonding is crucial for the stability and appearance of your home.

  • Compliance with Building Codes: Our inspectors make sure that the brickwork adheres to local building codes and standards. This is essential to ensure that your home meets all regulatory requirements.

Roof Stage:

The roof stage involves the installation of the roof structure and coverings. Our inspection at this stage focuses on the following:

  • Waterproofing: We verify that the roof is properly sealed to prevent water leaks, which can cause extensive damage to the interior of your home.

  • Structural Soundness: It's vital to ensure that the roof structure is sturdy and capable of withstanding external factors like wind, rain, and debris. A structurally sound roof is essential for your safety and property protection.

  • Compliance with Roofing Standards: Our inspectors confirm that the roofing materials and installation adhere to industry standards, ensuring your roof's durability and longevity.

Practical Completion Stage:

The practical completion inspection is the final stage before your new home is handed over to you. It's a comprehensive assessment that aims to address any outstanding issues. Here's what we do:

  • Comprehensive Assessment: We inspect every aspect of your new home to ensure it meets the quality and workmanship standards outlined in your building contract.

  • Outstanding Issues: Any incomplete work, defects, or issues that need resolution are documented. This stage ensures that all aspects of your home are finalized to your satisfaction.
