Choose the stage that matches the construction programme

Each stage offers a different window into the work. Earlier inspections can identify visible issues before components are covered, while practical completion focuses on the finished home before handover.

01Slab stage

Review visible slab construction and available project information at the nominated inspection point.

02Frame stage

Inspect accessible framing before it is progressively concealed by later work.

03Pre-plaster

Review accessible framing and service penetrations before wall linings are installed.

04Fixing stage

Inspect visible finishes and installed elements as the home approaches completion.

05Practical completion / PCI

Document visible incomplete, defective or damaged work before handover.

A stage inspection is not builder supervision

The service is an independent inspection at an agreed point in time. It does not replace the builder’s quality controls, statutory inspections, design consultants or continuous site supervision. The report reflects accessible work visible on the inspection date.

Pricing follows the stage and project scope

The amount of work varies with the stage, dwelling size, construction complexity, location and available documentation. Straightforward jobs can be quoted from the submitted details; unusual projects are reviewed manually rather than given a misleading automatic price.

What the report records

The report records visible conditions at the agreed stage, supported by photographs where useful. It also identifies work that was concealed, incomplete, obstructed or unsafe to inspect, so the limits of the inspection are clear.
