Independent checks before work is covered up
New Construction Progress Inspections
Stage-by-stage quality assurance for new homes, medium density projects, and major renovations. We verify workmanship before payments are released so defects are caught early and rectified while trades are on-site.
Request a Progress InspectionWhy Stage Inspections Matter
Each payment claim should match completed, compliant work. Independent inspections keep everyone honest and prevent costly rework once finishes conceal mistakes.
We align with your build programme to inspect at the critical milestones that impact structure, waterproofing, and compliance.
Typical Stages We Check
- Slab or subfloor – reinforcement, set-out, termite barriers, services
- Frame – load paths, tie-down, bracing, trusses, lintels
- Lock-up – roofing, cladding, windows, flashings, waterproofing
- Fixing – linings, tiling, cabinetry, waterproof membranes, services
- Practical completion – finishes, operation of services, defect list
What We Look For
- NCC compliance, tolerances, and manufacturer installation requirements
- Waterproofing continuity and weatherproofing of building envelope
- Coordination between trades so services and finishes align
- Safety, workmanship standards, and incomplete items delaying handover
