Quality Assurance for Your New Home
At Inspection Hub, we provide comprehensive and independent building inspections throughout the Geelong region and western suburbs of Melbourne. Our goal is to support homeowners through every stage of their building journey, ensuring quality control and peace of mind.
Our Approach
Our thorough building inspections identify issues that are often missed by mandatory inspections conducted by the Relevant Building Surveyor. We recommend five critical inspections during the construction process, as each stage is crucial to the overall quality of the build. Missing a stage can lead to complications that are harder to rectify later. After each inspection, we provide a detailed report highlighting defects and potential issues to prevent costly reworks and delays.
We also offer re-inspections of rectification works to ensure all identified issues have been addressed, reinforcing the importance of thorough follow-up checks.
Our Critical Inspections
Pre-Pour Inspection
Ensure Your Foundations Are Right from the Start
This inspection ensures that the concrete slab construction meets the specifications of the engineering drawings and Australian Standard 2870. It is vital to complete this inspection before the concrete is poured.
Frame Inspection
Check the Home’s Structure for Workmanship & Compliance
This inspection ensures the structural integrity of the frame, verifying it against engineering drawings and Australian Standard 1684.4. Common issues include walls out of plumb, incorrect bracing, and improper connections.
Pre-Plaster Inspection
The Last Chance to Check the Walls & Roof Frame
Conducted just before plasterboard installation, this inspection checks for structural integrity and ensures the plaster will adhere to a straight and compliant substrate, according to Australian Standard 2589.
Waterproof / Fix Inspection
Avoid Serious Damage Later Down the Track
This inspection focuses on the waterproofing of wet areas and the installation of doors, skirtings, and architraves. It ensures compliance with Australian Standard 3740 and flags potential re-work items for carpenters.
Final Inspection
Address All Defects Before Taking Possession of Your Home
The final inspection is a comprehensive check to ensure all defects and concerns have been addressed before you take possession of your new home. This inspection covers everything from floor finishes to external brickwork and roof structures.
