Building a new home in Greenbank QLD
Greenbank is a rural residential area with forested hills and watercourses running through Teviot Downs and Spring Mountain Estates. The terrain rises up from the water, which shapes how footings are designed and how rain runs off driveways. We check the concrete against the engineering and the approved plans, and we look at the waterproofing at the handover inspection because the ground is close to the water.

Terrain and drainage
The land slopes down to the creeks in Teviot Downs and Spring Mountain. We look for water running toward the house and for the correct fall on concrete and driveways.
Footing depth and size
The ground changes from sandy to clay in parts of the suburb. We check that the concrete depth and the slab reinforcement match the engineering for that specific block.
Waterproofing at handover
Decks and balconies over living areas need waterproof membranes. We inspect these at the handover to stop leaks from the roof or the balcony tiles.
Which build stages need checking
Slab to check the engineering and footings, frame to check the connections, and lock-up for the services. We add a handover inspection to check the waterproofing and the final finishes.
House plans, contracts and contracts
The approved drawings, the engineering set and the contract. These are the documents we measure every part of the build against.
