We have designed our Pre-Purchase Property Inspection Reports to provide vital information about your potential home, available in a format that is easy to read and understand. Developed by our experienced team of builders, the report formats have all the necessary details to aid your home-buying decisions.
Homes need care and attention just like most other things in life, sometimes we find even with care and attention homes develop issues that need that extra special attention.
This type of inspection will look for and include the property condition at the time.
Items such as; wall structure-defects, roof condition, internal and external condition, paving and perimeter walls/fencing-state of repair.
You have moved in your new home and now the builder’s maintenance liability period is approaching, it is at this time the builder attends and carries out any defects under their liability and warranties.
So how do you compile the list? Can you access and identify all the items that need attention? Will the builder listen and take notice of your identified items?
At Housecalls we know that enthusiasm abounds at this time, the “on-paper planning” stages have passed and real time construction work is about to start, but not everything goes to plan in the home building industry, that’s why we are here to help people just like you through the building stages.
The “Slab Down” stage of the build is the foundation that the property will be constructed on and this is the most fundamental part of the build.
At this stage the build project has reached another important part of its construction. The walls are at a height where the roof framing can be added, but before this happens the walls are best checked for suitability, are they built to correct heights? are the wall heads level? are the walls straight and plumb? are room dimensions correct? These are a few of the items that need to be looked at, once the roof has been constructed it is often difficult to rectify any issues.
With the building project approaching the halfway stage it is important to ensure the roof structure has been correctly built; Has restraint (roof tie-down) strapping been correctly positioned, fixed and tensioned? Has all required roof framing been properly installed and secured? Are roof penetrations (vent flumes) correctly installed? These and many other items relating to the roof completion are viewed during our “Roof Completion (Roof Watertight)” inspection.
It is at this stage that bricks and mortar are looking more like home so it is important to make sure the building can be secured to prevent unwanted casual entry. From now on internal fixtures and finishing’s are being installed and with a secured building they can stay that way.
Your future home is now approaching the stage of “Practical Completion”, it is a term that is misunderstood by many home buyers. Generally it means the point where all building work is complete or all but completed, in accordance with the contract, and the house is fit for occupation.
You have moved in your new home and now the builder’s maintenance liability period is approaching, it is at this time the builder attends and carries out any defects under their liability and warranties.
So how do you compile the list? Can you access and identify all the items that need attention? Will the builder listen and take notice of your identified items?
At Housecalls we know having your new home built is an exciting time, at the outset enthusiasm abounds, there are great expectations, the plans are approved, the preliminaries are under way and now the real building work is about to start. Then a few weeks into the project time checking on the build progress kicks in; you have questions for the site supervisor, he may be difficult to contact, or you are directed through an office team member, either way you feel your concerns are not being actioned effectively.
