Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 08, 2010 9:55 pm Hi, We are looking for the house inspectors in Melbourne. Do anyone know about Houspect Building Inspections? Their prices seems to be quite reasonable but I am not sure about their quality. Can anyone be able to help me? What about Independent Property Inspections? Their price is so cheap.....anyone know about this? Thank you for your help. Metricon Amira Re: Houspect Building Inspections 3Feb 09, 2010 9:38 pm Thanks, fruitty!! As Peter's quote is too expensive, I hope I can find someone who would charge me at the reasonable price.... Please help!!! I do wish more opinions and suggestions!!! Thanks in advance!!! Regards, Kin Metricon Amira Re: Houspect Building Inspections 4Feb 09, 2010 10:37 pm Think of it as extra insurance on your build. You are paying them for their experience (is my way of thinking of it) so don't pick one purely based on cost alone. But it's your house / money you can pick who ever you are happy with Re: Houspect Building Inspections 5Feb 10, 2010 6:36 am Hi We have used Urban Property Inspections at frame and lock up stage. We will be using them again before hand over. Re: Houspect Building Inspections 6Feb 10, 2010 9:12 pm Hi mdzzj, Are you building with PD? I saw your blog and it is really nice!!! Great to see your sharing!!! By the way, how much did Urban Property Inspections charge you for frame and lock up stage? Did they find out lots of defects from the inspections? Did PD fix them all in a short period? I plan to have inspections at frame, lock up and handover stages. Do I need to book for the inspections earlier? I wish you can help me Thank you so much, mdzzj Kin Metricon Amira Re: Houspect Building Inspections 8Feb 11, 2010 7:42 pm mdjzz ,I contacted Alex from Urban property inspections and he sent me 2 sample reports 1 at lock up which is pre plaster and the other handover . you said you did 2 frame and lock up and looking at doing handover inspection as well ? does lock up also cover the frame and slab as well ? I want him to check the formworks of the slab and also frame . you seem satifisfied with his reports,is he prompt ? What happens once the defects are picked up ,does he come down and check if its done to the building stds? sorry about all the questions! Re: Houspect Building Inspections 9Feb 13, 2010 11:14 pm Hey Al,, I rang Alex today (supporting the forum advertisers ) and he is inspecting a possible purchase for us on Tuesday. I will report back soon but so far very impressed! Cheers, Matt You have mandatory building inspections and privately engaged building inspections.
