Building inspections in Greenbank

The cost depends on the home's size and the stage of construction, so a single level slab costs less than a two storey handover. Use the quote form to get a figure before you book. Travel within Logan City is included.

We arrange inspections to fit in with your schedule, often providing coverage for urgent site visits. Book a handover inspection once the builder gives you the date.

The report arrives within one day of the inspection. Trades usually start the following day, and getting the report the same evening ensures the builder has time to correct any issues.

The slab is poured and the frame is erected, then a final handover inspection checks the lot. Our Greenbank slabs keep turning up missing step reinforcement and short cover, and our frames keep turning up connections that differ from the engineering. Add a lock-up stage inspection to ensure all services have adequate clearances.

Logan City Council. Greenbank became entirely within Logan after the state government amalgamated local government areas on 15 March 2008, and the suburb is around 30 kilometres south of Brisbane.

Stage and handover reports use the approved drawings, engineering, the National Construction Code and the QBCC Standards and Tolerances Guide. Inspectors measure ground movement using AS 2870, structural timber using AS 1684 and dampness in bathrooms using AS 3740. Existing homes are inspected against the AS 4349.1 standard, while timber pest reports follow AS 4349.3.

Yes. We hold a Queensland building licence, and we have professional indemnity and public liability insurance.

Under the Queensland Building and Construction Commission Act 1991 the statutory warranties run for six years on major defects and two years on everything else, measured from completion. A written report prepared prior to the handover inspection clearly outlines the condition of the home at that specific time.

You can attend, and many owners come for the last half hour so the inspector can walk them through the main items. Site safety rules and builder access conditions apply during inspections.

Ask the builder for a written list of fixes and schedule the next inspection. If there is any disagreement about a requirement, we can speak directly with the builder to sort it out.
