Doors, architraves, skirtings and cabinets are fitted and the walls are lined. What we find now is fixed before paint seals it in.
One of our inspectors will call you back. If it is urgent, call 1300 471 805.
At a Mambourin fixing inspection we recorded an unsealed roof penetration, a wall bowed beyond the 5mm limit, damaged anti-ponding board at the eaves and no temporary downpipes, so water was pooling against the slab.
Annotated findings from Fixing inspections.
1Bored piersOnce the piers are drilled and caged, before a drop of concrete
2Slab pre-pourThe day before the pour, while pods, steel and membrane are still on show
3FrameWhen the frame and trusses are standing and the roof is on, before wrap and cladding
4Lock-up (pre-plaster)With roof, windows, cladding and outside doors fitted, before insulation is covered
6WaterproofingAfter the membrane cures and before the first tile is laid
7Pre-handover (PCI)About a week ahead of the practical completion dateInstant online pricing, or talk to the booking team on 1300 471 805.
The Guide to Standards and Tolerances 2015 treats a wall as defective if it bows more than 5mm under a 1.8m straight edge.
Without them, roof water lands beside the slab during the build, wetting the reactive clay under the edge.
Yes. Penetrations, sarking at the eaves and flashings are looked at while scaffold may still give access.
Fit, gaps and damage, against the tolerances guide.
Not yet, because painting has not started. That is part of the handover inspection.
Often, yes, if the membrane is still visible when fixing is complete.
