Building Inspections

Independent Quality Checks for a Stress-Free Build
Building a new home? Don’t leave quality to chance. At Inspection Hub, we provide independent building inspections across Geelong and Melbourne’s western suburbs. Our goal is simple—catch issues before they become expensive problems. Whether you’re just starting or nearing completion, we help homeowners stay in control of their build.
Why Standard Inspections Aren’t Enough
Most new builds go through mandatory inspections, but those only check for basic compliance. Critical flaws often slip through the cracks, and once the build progresses, fixing them gets expensive.
We recommend five key inspections at different stages to identify problems early. After each inspection, you’ll get a detailed report outlining defects and potential risks, so you can take action before they turn into costly delays.
Need follow-up checks? We also re-inspect rectifications to ensure every issue is properly fixed.
Five Critical Inspections You Shouldn’t Skip
Pre-Pour Inspection
Ensures slab construction meets engineering specifications and Australian Standard 2870 before concrete is poured. A mistake here can lead to serious structural issues down the line.
Frame Inspection
Verifies that the framing aligns with engineering drawings and Australian Standard 1684.4. Common issues include walls out of plumb, weak bracing, and incorrect connections.
Pre-Plaster Inspection
Conducted before plasterboard installation to ensure wall straightness and roof frame integrity according to Australian Standard 2589. Fixing frame issues after plastering is time-consuming and costly.
Waterproof / Fix Inspection
Focuses on wet area waterproofing and key carpentry details such as doors, skirtings, and architraves. Ensures compliance with Australian Standard 3740 and prevents future water damage.
Final Inspection
A full check of floors, finishes, brickwork, and roofing before handover. Identifies defects that need fixing before you take possession.
