Browse Forums Building Standards; Getting It Right! 1 Jul 29, 2011 10:23 pm I am building my first home in Ford Canberra ACT and want to hire a private inspector to check the quality of builder's work at the following stage: frame pre-plaster final I hope the private inspector can pick up defect/quality issues that I can report to the builder to fix those up during the building process. Anyone can recommend good private building certifier/inspector in ACT? PS: I noticed that the builder has appointed his nominee certifier to certify the building work in complaince with BCA. However, I just have concern whether this certifier he appoint is someone he know and will not become totally independent. That is why I am thinking to get another private inspector for double check. Thanks heaps Re: Good licensed certifier in Canberra-Framing stage inspec 2Jul 30, 2011 9:55 am Excellent idea. I agree, the private certification process is less than transparent. Try Property Works - http://www.property-works.com.au/ They did a good job on my pre handover inspection.
