Definitely you should look though, should say in your contact what you should have, I think ours mentions the mesh, but can't remember if it's 2 or 3mm gap max, should be obvious if it's missing! Just mention it to the builder and don't sign off on practical completion unless you are happy! 2 Re: what is needed for bushfire assessment of 12.5 ? 23Oct 18, 2012 11:21 am kerry-ann So is the house inspected to make sure all the BAL requirements have been carried out before handover by anyone.

I think i remember that they said "we would not see it" could be wrong,i was assuming you would indeed see a mesh type stuff if you looked. It is in our paperwork lsited under BAL requirements.

With that in mind, I would assume that they do not do an inspection.
