At a Pre-pour Slab Inspection the Building Inspector (hired by the Building Surveyor at least in Victoria) should check sufficient detail - size of reinforcement, cover of reinforcement, depth of beams, continuity of underlay (complete taping) at the very least. Several times I have arrived after the building inspector has called in and approved the pre-pour stage to find hammocked underlay reducing the effective beam depths, multiple reo holes in the underlay, incomplete taping, less than the required bar chairs to name the most common faults MISSED. So good luck. The Building Surveyor can do these inspections also. What the Building Surveyor should do prior to the permit being issued is check the structural design against the soil report. And if there are recommendations he can insist that these become mandatory. Onm many occasions that has not occurred it seems. Hence the June 8th (Sunday) article in The Age - thousands of home owners facing ruin which referred to 3 western councils in Melbourne where the slabs have moved out of level by over 100mm!!
