Building inspections in Edmondson Park

It tracks the property and the stage. A frame check on a single storey is at the lower end and a double storey handover with a big roof space at the upper. Put the address in the form and the number comes back with travel included.

Usually within the week. For a stage inspection ring as soon as the carpenter or the bricklayer is finishing, because the window is short and it belongs to the builder's program.

Inside twenty four hours, and on a stage visit frequently the same evening, since the value of a stage report expires the moment the next trade arrives.

Because Edmondson Park has not yet produced a published photo library with us, and using another suburb's pictures without saying so would let you read them as local. Austral is about six kilometres north west in the same growth corridor, and every caption names it.

No. The builders, the engineering conventions and the trades move across this whole corridor, which is why the same findings recur from one suburb to the next. The photographs illustrate what we look for; your report is about your house.

A connection that does not match the engineering. It came up twice on Austral frames, and it is the one item a builder cannot really argue about, because it is a comparison between the drawing and the thing built.

Council handles the planning approval. The build itself runs through a principal certifier who issues the construction certificate and the occupation certificate and does the mandatory critical stage inspections. That serves the certificate, not your defect list.

Framing against AS 1684 and your engineering, masonry against AS 3700, wet areas against AS 3740, termite management against AS 3660, and the whole job against the National Construction Code, the ABCB Housing Provisions and the Guide to Standards and Tolerances 2017.

Yes, and Edmondson Park has a real unit market rather than a token one. An attached dwelling adds party wall detail, fire separation at every penetration and control joints, none of which a freestanding house presents.

The Home Building Act 1989 gives six years on major defects and two on everything else, counted from completion. The two year window covers most of a handover list and closes without warning.

What we do is visual, and confined to whatever can be reached without risk. No circuit is switched on, no pipe put under pressure, no appliance run, nothing dismantled and no engineering certified.

Bardia, Horningsea Park, Prestons, Carnes Hill, Glenfield and Denham Court, along with Austral, Leppington and the rest of the south west. There is no travel charge anywhere in it.

It goes to your builder, and we ring you to work through it. The call is where the list turns into a plan, because it tells you which items are structural and which are presentation.
