When you build or renovate, regular inspections during the process can save you a lot of time, money, and pain. Inspections during construction ensure that your new building is compliant, flawless, and well-built.

Your inspector will check.

  • Finished floor level, relative to the temporary benchmark.
  • Surface level for tolerance.
  • Set downs and rebates.
  • Slab orientation.
  • Slab dimensions.
