Generally a 5 stage Building Inspection is carried out as a standard within the industry. SMART Building Specialists offer a 2 Stage Building Inspection which still captures all aspects of a build in a more cost effective approach.

Common worries are:

• Substandard workmanship
• Poor supervision by the builder
• Trades cutting corners
• Compliance with current building codes

Solution

SMART Building Specialists recommend to carry out two building inspections during the construction of your property to ensure that the method of construction and workmanship on your project are in accordance with Australian and Industry standards. Our building inspectors in Perth carry out inspections that are usually timed in accordance with the two stages of construction.

The two stages are:

Plate height/Roof cover inspection: that covers the following:

• Roof cover, valley trays, gutters and down pipes.
• Roof structure including all support steels and timber.
• Internal and external brickwork construction.
• Concrete slab condition and construction.

Practical completion inspection: that covers the following:

• Roof coverings, valley trays, gutters, down pipes. (If previously not inspected).
• Internal inspection of the ceilings and walls.
• General inspection of internal and external doors, frames and windows.
• Kitchen and vanity cabinetry inspection.
• Visual inspection of the boundary retaining walls.
• Patios, balconies and stairs.
• Pergolas and paving.
• Fences and out buildings.
• Plumbing/electrical overview.

We can offer all the above inspections as a comprehensive package or any one building inspection in Perth as required, the choice is yours.

Both inspections are carried out referring to the site plans, Engineers drawings and addendum provided.
