FAQ

New Construction Stage Inspections in Melton South: common questions

Which Melton South stages give the best return?

Frame and pre-handover before anything else, then slab pre-pour. The slab matters because termite collars, vapour barrier and mesh position are all permanent the moment concrete is placed.

What is beyond a stage inspection's scope?

Our inspectors work by eye and by hand. Electrical work is not energised or tested, plumbing is not pressure tested, nothing is opened destructively, no engineering is certified and no soil is sampled.

How late can I arrange one?

A day or two out is usually workable. Tell us the moment the supervisor gives you a date, because they shift.
