New Home & Apartment Inspections in Melbourne, VIC

New Home Inspections (that are completely independent) are essential  before you hand over the final payment to your builder or settle on a new townhouse or apartment.

When you are employing a builder or developer to construct your costly new home or apartment, it is very important that you have someone you can rely on to make sure that your new home has been properly built compliant with the National Construction Code (NCC), The Building Code of Australia, all relevant building codes and Australian standards and relevant manufacturer’s installation instructions.

As there are hundreds of building codes and Australian standards that are relevant when a new house or apartment is being built, it is essential that you have an experienced building consultant ensure that your largest investment has been constructed compliant with all relevant building guidelines before handover or prior to settlement.

New Home Inspections Are Our Core Business.

Finalinspect has specialised in inspecting new homes, townhouses and apartments at all stages of construction for over 30 years and is the leading firm in the new home inspection industry in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

Final inspections of new homes has been our core business since Finalinspect was established in 1999.

Finalinspect is the original building inspection firm that started specialising in inspecting new homes, apartments and townhouses prior to handover and settlement.

The detail provided in our building reports allows our clients to go back to their builders in a much more informed way and defer handing over the final payment until all relevant defects have been rectified and all outstanding works have been fully and properly completed.

The benefits of using Finalinspect to inspect your new house.

• Finalinspect is completely independent. We only work for you to make sure that builders fully and properly construct and finish the new house that you have worked very hard to pay for.

• All of our inspectors have at least 30 years of relevant experience in the residential construction industry.

• We have extensive experience inspecting a range of residential buildings including homes, town houses, apartments and units.

• Most builders and developers agree with and comply with our reports.

• We are Melbourne’s leading experts at interpreting and cross referencing all defects identified during building inspections to relevant sections of the National Construction Code (BCA), Australian Standards and various Industry Standards and Tolerances and various manufacturer’s product installation instructions.

• Our inspections are very thorough. We inspect the outside of each building, the inside of the dwelling, inside the roof space and in the sub floor area (if there is reasonable and safe access). We also inspect and report on the land surrounding the building (e.g. the adequacy of site drainage).

• In our reports, we outline what the defects are and state exactly where they are located, why they are defects (e.g. by reference to specific sections of the National Construction Code and relevant Australian Standards etc.), and what the builder should do to rectify identified defects.

• All of our house inspections and reports comply with, and exceed, the relevant Australian Industry Standard AS 4349.1 (Inspection of Buildings, Property Inspections, Residential Buildings).

• Our building inspection reports are promptly emailed to our clients, usually within 24 – 48 hours of conducting the building inspection.
