iSPECT Building Inspections will carry out a new home frame stage inspection across Melbourne, Mornington Peninsula, Geelong and greater Victoria. 

The frame stage inspection is completed after the frame has been approved by the building surveyor who would have been appointed by your builder. The frame stage inspection completed by our building inspector is much more detailed than that of the builders surveyor and we check to ensure that:

  • the poured concrete slab does not have any exposed steel around its perimeter. We check for "blow-out" along the edges as well as for any bottom plate overhang which if neither are rectified will potentially create future problems;
  • the concrete slab does not contain excessive cracking and dusting;
  • the concrete slab is level and in most part even; 
  • the constructed wall frames are compliant with the building code and the bracing is installed correctly;
  • the roof truss installation and bracing is to plan;
  • the frame meets the engineering design and plans that have been supplied to our frame stage building inspector.

Frame Stage Inspection Melbourne | Report Overview

The frame stage is the second inspection of four inspections we recommend to clients in the process of building a new home:

  1. Slab Stage
  2. Frame Stage
  3. Lockup
  4. Completion (Handover / PCI)

Our qualified inspectors work for you and our report will assist you to discuss any areas of concern you have with the builder if any works are substandard to ensure you get the house you want built for what you paid for.

The New Home Frame Stage Inspection stage is carried carried out in accordance with AS4349. 1-2007.
