New Construction Inspections
A newly built property should meet expectations. Our new construction inspections are designed to identify visible defects, incomplete work and potential concerns before or around handover.
Quick Answer
A new construction inspection reviews a newly built home around the completion or handover stage. It is designed to identify visible defects, incomplete work and potential concerns while there is still an opportunity to raise them with the builder. Fast Home Inspections arranges new construction inspections across Australia, subject to inspector availability.
Purpose of a new-build inspection
A new construction inspection reviews the completed work at an important stage of the build, creating a useful record of the property's visible condition before or around handover.
Visible defects
- Finishing and surface defects that are visible on inspection
- Damage observed to accessible areas
- Items that may require attention from the builder
Incomplete work
- Items that appear unfinished at the time of inspection
- Missing fittings or fixtures in accessible areas
- Areas that may require follow up before handover
Handover-stage inspection
Handover timing varies between builders and contracts. Arrange your inspection with enough notice so findings can be raised within the timeframes set out in your building contract.
Inspection scope, exclusions and accessibility limitations should always be confirmed before the inspection.
