Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building at Willowdale 2875Feb 16, 2017 6:25 am zoeebabyy Just quietly, the workers gates were open last night & we snuck through to see our block. I must say we are quite surprised with how fast things have been progressing, roads are almost done & facilities access is almost complete. Things are getting real now We had friends who live in Willowdale who snuck in early evening for us too. They took some pics - it looks great! Re: Building at Willowdale 2876Feb 17, 2017 4:52 pm Has anyone considered getting an independent inspector to walk through their build at all stages, or at least considered one for the final walk through? If so, which option? Any thoughts/comments/suggestions/recommendations?

If so, which option? Any thoughts/comments/suggestions/recommendations? We are planning on getting an inspector - I've seen HK Ryan and Houspect recommended quite a bit on the forum. One of them offers a discount if you mention the forum but I forget which one. We are planning on getting a pre linings inspection where they will check frame, brickwork, roof, electrical then a PCI inspection. Our builder only allows 2 inspections but I've read those two are sufficient. I just want the peace of mind that an expert has checked it over.

Ditto; as well as wet area inspections at waterproofing stage (before tiling) by a specific waterproofing inspector. They have all the tools to check the thickness & appropriate type of waterproofing has been used etc, as well as the clout to report & recommend if it isn't to AStandard. All the best with it guys Re: Building at Willowdale 2879Feb 18, 2017 10:08 am PixiGT Jenifermarie ChristineA Has anyone considered getting an independent inspector to walk through their build at all stages, or at least considered one for the final walk through?

The builder is offering SARKING & R4 GLASSWOOL BATTS to the ceiling; however they've suggested installing the ANTICON blanket as well at extra cost. Could you please advise if ANTICON blanket is required along with R4 GLASSWOOL BATT & SARKING? Has anybody installed the ANTICON blanket under their colorbond roof? Elvis has left the building...
