The Importance of a New Home Inspection

With the increasing new home builds in Sydney, having it professionally inspected is essential. Known in the industry as either a staged inspection or construction progress inspection, this detailed assessment takes place at different phases of new home construction and verifies that the new build complies with required building regulations, safety standards, and the agreed-upon terms between the building company and the future homeowner.

During new home inspections, common concerns are often related to the quality of work, contractual disagreements between builders and clients, and disputes about the scope of work to be completed.

Why this inspection is important:

1. Guarantees Safety Standards

A professional inspection of a new home can detect potential safety concerns or hazards that might endanger the occupants.

2. Uncovers Construction Issues

Building contractors spend significant amounts yearly addressing construction flaws and settling disputes. Having a construction progress inspection can expose hidden defects or substandard workmanship that may not be visible right away.

3. Bargaining Leverage

Discovering problems during the build before occupancy can provide leverage to discuss repairs and improvements with the builder.

4. Warranty Protection

Construction companies typically provide warranties for their work. A detailed building report can serve as vital evidence when filing warranty claims in the future.

5. Confidence and Assurance

A comprehensive inspection of your newly built home provides confidence in your investment and eases concerns about possible hidden issues.
