Building with Clarendon - Private Building Inspector
Page 1 of 1
I have just started building with Clarendon, the slab has been laid and awaiting frame work. I am concerned about the upcoming inspections and not being prepared for them, i.e. discovering risks early in the build to avoid issues down the track. Especially after reading this thread - Building Sheridan 35 with Clarendon - Illawarra . So am looking at hiring an independent building inspector to inspect the building.
for those using Clarendon, are private inspectors encouraged and welcome during the build by Clarendon. I have not brought this up with my builder yet, but wanted to hear from others before doing so.
also, if anyone can recommend a builder inspector that is thorough and good to work with and are based in Sydney, please let me know. I am building in the st george area.
thanks

We built with Clarendon in Sydney last year and used a private building inspector. We told our site supervisor and they had no issues with it. We had 6 inspections done and sent the reports to the site supervisor who did follow up and action the recommendations.
That's great, unfortunately my experience with Metricon was different. They did not rectify defects noted in the reports at the appropriate time, even breaching a NSWDFT recification and completion order. Regarding Clarendon, I heard from a friend that Clarendon had actually paid Themselves for an independent inspector on a build to ensure quality. Very positive!
Not sure about their own inspector. If they had one, he didn’t pick up many issues! Thankfully we didn’t have any major issues but they were mostly identified by our inspector, not theirs.
Mind you I was also on site a lot and also picked up somethings our inspector missed.

If you already have a contract, is the inspection cost stated in there? If not they would be forced to issue you a variation which you could of course object to.

I would send it to the certifier who is technically your representative and working on your behalf not the builder's
