We inspect every estate in Mambourin 3024 and the surrounding suburbs of Wyndham Vale, Manor Lakes, Werribee, Mount Cottrell, Quandong and Tarneit. Our local inspectors are on site in Mambourin most weeks, so travel never adds to the price.
The pre-pour items we find on Mambourin slabs and why each one is permanent.
Why a slab projecting over 20mm beyond the frame matters for the brick cavity.
Which stages to book, when, and what each one catches.

By the service, the stage and the size of the house. Enter your address in the quote form and the price appears on screen before you commit to anything.
Most bookings are attended within two to four business days. Stage visits are timed to the builder's schedule, so give us the date as soon as it is set.
No more than 24 hours after the inspector leaves. Slab and frame reports often go out the same evening because the next trade is usually waiting.
A registered building practitioner. We hold Building and Plumbing Commission registration CDB-U 53425 with professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Your contract drawings and engineering first, then AS 2870 for footings and slabs, AS 1684 for framing, AS 3740 for wet areas, AS 4349.1 for purchases, the NCC and the Guide to Standards and Tolerances 2015.
It can be. The Werribee Plains carry basalt derived clays that shrink and swell with moisture, which is why your soil report and the engineer's slab design matter so much. We check the slab against that design before the pour.
Slab pre-pour, frame and the pre-handover inspection. The first two are your only look at work that is buried, and the last is your final chance to list items before you accept the house.
Yes. Our Mambourin inspectors also work Wyndham Vale, Manor Lakes, Werribee, Mount Cottrell, Quandong and Tarneit.
Yes. A pre-purchase inspection follows AS 4349.1, and adding a timber pest inspection under AS 4349.3 covers termites in the same visit.
No. A defect report is a working document between you and the builder. The BPC dispute resolution service (formerly DBDRV) and VCAT need an expert witness report written to the VCAT practice note, which we also prepare.
Please do come. The inspector can show you each item and explain what the builder needs to do about it.
Each finding names the plan detail, clause or tolerance it fails, so the conversation is about a measurement. If it stalls, call the inspector.
Yes. A reinspection works through the original list item by item and records what has been fixed and what is still open.
