Independent New Build Home Inspection

The complete independent inspection of your finished new home

A full independent inspection of your new build home, inside and out. Every defect and unfinished item is photographed and written up so your developer can put it right.

Typically 3-5 hours on site

Pre-Completion Inspection

Inspected before you complete, under the New Homes Quality Code

Carried out before legal completion, while you still hold maximum leverage with your developer.

Typically 2-4 hours on site

Re-Inspection

We return to confirm the work has actually been done

A follow-up visit checking every item from your original report, with an updated written record of what has and has not been resolved.

Typically 1-2 hours on site
