Inspections

Footing

This is a typical steel inspection for a strip footing. Footings come in many shapes and sizes. Pier holes and strip footings are the most common. We thoroughly inspect all aspects of each inspection.

We ensure that the steel is the right type and size, length, thickness and shape, it is in the right location, there is enough concrete cover to the steel, it is supported on chairs, the trenches are clean and free of sediment, tree roots and water.

The based of the footing is firm and level; there is sufficient lap to the steel, it is tied correctly. Plus we look at the sedimentation controls, signage, amenities and if the set out is correct and everything appears to be in accordance with the approval.

A footing inspection can be simple or complex. Footing inspections can take 30 mins to 3-4 hours.

Final Inspections

Final

Final inspections bring together all of the aspects of the project. All of the inspections, approvals, legislation, standards, certificates from all of the trades and consultants.

The works needs to be finished and compliant with the approval and the Building Code of Australia. This is often the last change to ensure that everything on site if everything appears to be in accordance with the approval.

All of the inspections listed here are for dwellings and minor works. We can provide further information on all of these inspections and more in further detail at any time. Typically a dwelling final inspection takes 1-2 hours.

We pride ourselves on giving our clients the best possible service for every project we certify. We discuss all aspects of each inspection with the builder on site including a list of requirements to rectify, if necessary.

We then provide comprehensive, thorough and detailed inspections reports sent electronically to all stakeholders after each inspection is completed.
