Staged Building Inspections Adelaide by BPI Adelaide

When it comes to building or renovating, regular inspections throughout the process can save you valuable time, money, and headaches. With our staged building inspections, you can ensure that your new construction in Adelaide is compliant, flawlessly built, and meets your expectations. How our staged building inspection process works: 

Stage 1: Slab / Foundation Check 

The foundation of your building is crucial, and we make sure it’s done according to the drainage plan and project specifications. During this stage, our inspectors will verify: 

  • Slab orientation and dimensions.
  • Plumbing locations.
  • Vapour barrier installation.
  • Finished floor level in relation to the temporary benchmark.
  • Surface level tolerance.
  • Set downs and rebates.
  • Compliance with general requirements of AS2870-2011. 

 

Stage 2: Roof and Frame Assessment 

The roof and wall frame form the structure of your house. We thoroughly inspect it to ensure it meets the necessary standards. Our inspectors will assess:

  • Roof and wall bracing for stability.
  • Adequate tie-down fixings.
  • Room sizes and wall framing alignment.
  • Roof framing alignment with the layout and requirements of AS4440-2004.
  • Wall framing alignment with the layout and requirements of AS1684-2010.
