Building Dispute Practitioners Society On Greenbank slabs we keep recording the same three things: concrete too wet for the mix, steel cover less than the standard, and reinforcement not tied to the chairs. Frames bring a different list: a lintel height that misses the brickwork drawing, a stud gap too wide for a wall plate, and a timber post sitting on a concrete slab without a damp course. Then lock-up adds the services, with drainage pipes on the wrong side of the stormwater line. We assess the condition of exposed elements before they are covered up.

Stage inspections during a build are crucial. They check the approved drawings and engineering. These findings determine the structural integrity of the home.
If a concrete slab sits uneven, engineers usually specify additional steel reinforcement around the low spot. We have recorded them missing on Greenbank pours, which the engineer then has to review.
Standard residential contracts allow you to engage your own consultant. We schedule the inspection to fit around your builders.
