Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Things discovered through pre-plaster independent inspection 6Aug 01, 2009 9:04 am Rinny We want to get a pre plaster independent inspection on our house and was wondering whether you have gotten one done? Did the inspection uncover anything that needed to be fixed? Assuming there are things that need to be fixed, would you pay the framing stage instalment invoice, or wait until things are fixed? BTW, is a pre-plaster inspection the same as a frame inspection? I didn't get a frame inspection but did get a pre-plaster inspection. My inspector found some issue regarding number of brick ties around windows and brick-control joints. Re: Things discovered through pre-plaster independent inspection 7Aug 01, 2009 10:46 am Hi Rinny, We used Peter from FinalInspect after receiving recommendations from other forum members who had used him. We tried contacting Big Kev at first because he comes very highly recommended but i guess all that recommendations have been keeping him busy and it was difficult to get an inspection done at the time we needed i.e. within 2 weeks. So we went with Finalinspect and yes we couldn't recommend him enough. I will pm you his details. All the best with your build!
