We recommend at the start of your build to engage in a building inspector who can advise that each stage of the build is carried out completely as each stage has certain criteria’s to be met to be deemed completed before that progress claim can be submitted.
By engaging in a building inspector you are able to gauge a better understanding of what is required at each level of the build, this ensures the builder has carried out all the relevant requirements and prevents them for over quoting on unnecessary work at that stage of the build.
As a building inspector our work carried out at each stage of the build are:
- 1st Stage: Slab Claim – All concretes slab, footings and drains including isolated piers are checked they comply to the BCA and Australian standards.
- 2nd Stage: Brick Claim – All walls are checked they are completed to the right height and dimensions ready for your roof frame. And, comply to the BCA and Australian standards
- 3rd Stage: Roof Cover – All roof cover coverings, flashing and tiles are checked and comply with the Timber Framing Code of Australia.
- 4th Stage: Lock up – Electrical and plumbing pre-lay are completed, wall plaster, ceiling, plaster boarding, windows, glazing, sliding doors and any external doors ensuring the property is secured. And, all comply to the BCA and Australian standards.
- PC1: Practical Completion – Checks made for you to be able to live in the property (Habitable) – this covers hot/cold running water, electricity and sewerage connected appropriately, as well as cooking appliances. The only things should be left is minor maintenance and rectification works to be completed.
