Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 04, 2014 11:42 am Hi Guys, Has anyone got any recommendations for Building inspector? We are building in South East Melbourne - Berwick. There are few sites who provide these services or find professional for you but I suppose its important I have some recommendations. Or the person might say , ohh well all inspected everything is good give me my money. Also we are past final contract and our builder UEH had HIA contract, does anyone know if this builder or builders who has HIA contracts allow to bring independent building inspectors? Is it our legal right to bring inspector in victoria? Some reading on the forum shows PD, Henl3y allowed it, are there any other examples? UEH and EIGHT are under same umbrella so any experience with eight will be great too.
