Awesome report thanks
Ty was very friendly and knowledgeable about what he did!
Super happy with the inspections results in each stages. Very happy with how critique he is and that’s how it should be when it comes to finding defects but Josh is doing above and beyond for us as the owners. He is such a good advocate for us in term of doing inspections and finding all defects and what needs to be done up to Australian Standards. We couldn’t thank you enough!! Josh is very amazing!!
Good
We inspect every estate in Melton South 3338 and the surrounding suburbs of Melton, Melton West, Kurunjang, Brookfield, Weir Views and Cobblebank. Our local inspectors are on site in Melton South most weeks, so travel never adds to the price.

It turns on the service, the stage and the size of the home. The online quote returns a fixed figure against your address rather than a range.
Normally two to four business days, with stage inspections slotted into whatever gap the builder's program leaves.
Inside a day of the inspection, and stage reports often the same evening.
Yes, under Building and Plumbing Commission registration, with professional indemnity and public liability cover held.
AS 4349.1 for pre-purchase, AS 4349.3 for timber pests, AS 2870 for slabs, AS 1684 for framing, AS 3740 for wet areas, plus the NCC and the Guide to Standards and Tolerances 2015.
Yes. Melton, Melton West, Kurunjang, Brookfield, Weir Views and Cobblebank all fall on the same run.
Frame and pre-handover first. Add slab pre-pour where budget allows, because concrete cannot be revisited.
The defect report is prepared so you and your builder can work through it. The Building and Plumbing Commission dispute service and VCAT both need an expert witness report drawn to the VCAT practice note.
Yes, under AS 4349.1, and with a timber pest inspection under AS 4349.3 where both are booked together.
Yes, and it helps. An item pointed out on site lands better than the same item in writing.
Each entry names the clause or tolerance it fails, which moves the discussion onto the document.
Yes. A reinspection marks off every original item and produces a second dated record.
