New Home in Progress Inspection, checking the quality of workmanship
While the lending authorities and Council Inspectors look at the building for their requirements, no one is looking at it just to make sure that everything is being built in a tradesman-like manner. In other words looking after your interests.
Many people arrange to have building inspections prior to progress payments to ensure that what is being asked to be paid for has in fact been completed satisfactorily. Inspections at each of the stages below will help ensure you get the quality home you are after.
If your builder knows that you will be arranging ongoing Progress Inspections by The Sydney Building Information Centre, in psychological and practical ways, he will be more inclined to build your home with more care.
