I initially wanted to get one at each stage, but for us, the final check will definitely give us peace of mind. Pretty shocking that DAH had 8 building code violations already. It's stuff like that that a consumer just wouldn't notice...SO important to get a professional opinion.

Out of curiosity, can the builder question or fail to honour the findings of the independent inspector? I don't see how. They're required by law to meet Australian standards in accordance with the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and if you have photographic documentation and the written report of an independent specialist stating that haven't done this then they are in breech of contract. For example (from our report): In accordance with the BCA 3.3.3.3 galvanised roof tie down straps should be at 1200mm maximum, centred and fixed with 3/2.8 mm galvanised flat head nails. There are several places where the span is 2.7m, 2.2m and 1.8m. The addition of ties attached to the lintel hoops would solve the issue. How do you argue with that? He even told them how to fix it!

Pretty shocking that DAH had 8 building code violations already. It's stuff like that that a consumer just wouldn't notice...SO important to get a professional opinion. I couldn't agree more. I'd have NO IDEA that the things listed in our report were even issues. Considering how much money we're pumping into this build I think having an inspector would be a bargain at twice the price! butterbing We have just organised our building inspector (Prospec) to do inspection at brick work completion, roof frame completion and PCI... I think the piece if mind is worth it and everyone on homeone who has paid for inspections weather it's one or more has said it's worth the money. You can add us to that list! Our brickwork and roof frame completion was covered as part of the same inspection. Our next inspection will be at practical completion. Happy to recommend our inspector if anyone else wants to PM me.
