In short: New suburbs present specific risks. A detailed inspection checks the build against approved plans and regulations.
Site and soil
Poor drainage can cause settling issues in the heavy soil common to this area.
Design and drawings
The build must match the approved plans. Variations often go unnoticed.
Construction defects
Workmanship issues like cracking or leaks appear during the first wet season.
Compliance
Checks ensure the work meets the Building Act 1993 and the Guide to Standards and Tolerances.
