The purpose of this inspections is to ensure that the House Frame has been constructed to the Industry Standards, that the frame has been erected plumb, level and square, and that the rooms and window openings are correct, as these are items not inspected as part of the Certification by the Certifier / Surveyor. In addition, we will also check that Plumbing and Electrical services installed prior to Plaster have not compromised the structural integrity of the Frame in any way, and that the inside of the house is fully protected from any potential rainwater ingress.

The main objectives of this inspection are to ensure is enclosed, plastered and that both the internal and external linings have been completed (EG doors, skirtings, soffits etc.) to allow the Painter to commence and complete Painting. We will also check the installation of any Brickwork, Cladding & Render, to ensure these are fully compliant with the current standards.

At this Inspection, we will check that the home has achieved Practical Completion, IE that the building works are complete except for minor omissions and defects that do not prevent the building works from being reasonably capable of being used for their usual purpose, and identify any defects that we believe require to be addressed by the Builder, including minor items such as paint touch ups.
