Property Inspections Perth
You’ll be afforded the following benefits when appointing Next Level Building Inspections to represent your interests during the building of your new home. Your home builder and their nominated supervisor will be informed of our appointment and expectations ensuring your project receives maximum attention.
Your build can be inspected at each stage or at individual stages of construction to ensure that every aspect is completed to the highest level of workmanship and fully complies with both the Australian Standards and the National Construction Codes.
The stage inspection process ensures that defects are identified prior to them being concealed by finishes such as flooring and paint. We use specialised tools and the latest technology equipment including moisture meters and laser measuring tools to assist in the thorough investigation of any perceived defects in your new home building inspection.
Following the inspection we conduct telephone consultations to clarify any areas of concern and provide advice on rectification matters. We provide advice on what to do should the Builder refuse to rectify a defect, and a dispute arises.
We will inspect and report on:
- Urgent and serious safety hazards, which are building elements or situations that represent a current or immediate potential threat or injury to persons
- Works that are incomplete
- Property Inspections Perth
- Works that do not reflect a high level of trade workmanship as defined in the Western Australia Guide to Standards and Tolerances 2019
- Our reports are prepared in accordance with AS 4349 & AS 4349.1
