If issues are picked up in the structure it's much easier and faster to rectify early Re: Which stage is best for arranging an Building Inspector 3Jul 16, 2019 3:46 pm Before you sign building contract Your most important inspection is pre contract review Foremost Building Expert in Australia,assisting with building problems/disputes, building stage inspections,pre-contract review advice for peace of mind 200 blogs http://www.buildingexpert.net.au/blog Re: Which stage is best for arranging an Building Inspector 4Jul 16, 2019 4:33 pm DEFINITELY before signing the contract! Many builders don't want an independent inspector anywhere near anything they're doing, and I wouldn't be terribly surprised if the contract you sign has stuff in it about how the builder controls the site & all third parties need to be vetted by the builders before being allowed onsite. DO NOT spend any time with a builder before clarifying that they'll allow an independent inspector onsite, if you want to use one. You don't want to spend 100hrs of your life choosing options & colours & finishes & tiles & bricks & floorplans etc etc only to find out you can't get the inspector you want. Re: Which stage is best for arranging an Building Inspector 5Jul 16, 2019 4:36 pm We had independent (Council) inspections with a previous build and based on what I learned from the experience, I would get one just before the concrete is poured for the slab and after the frame/roof is erected. Once plaster and bricks go up, many issues are simply concealed anyhow at this point. Also any further issues are generally more cosmetic ones, so I think the pre-slab and framing inspections are the most important. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Check our Homeone build blog here 0 502 Hi looking for recommendations for building inspectors in Perth.
