About a week. That gives us time to attend and write it up, and gives you time to put the list in front of the builder before signing.
Circuits are not energised, plumbing is not pressure tested, heating and cooling are not commissioned, appliances and automatic garage door safety systems are not tested, and concealed framing or anything blocked is not inspected.
No. The tolerances guide categorises cracking by width, and cracks measured between 2mm and 4mm sit outside the acceptable range. That is why we measure rather than describe.
