What’s involved in a Sydney Roof Frame Inspection
At SURE Building Inspections Sydney, our roof frame inspection is the visual inspection of installed timbers or steel in order to support the roof cover and internal ceiling covers. The department of commerce reported a compliance rate of just 33% for roof frames for metal roof covers in 2016. AS1684.2 and the BCA are used for inspection reference.
A Roof Frame Inspection is a necessary requirement on a new home build and is conducted after the plate height is reached. When we inspect your roof we ensure the roof frame is completely straight, with no distortion or sagging, and is adequately braced with the correct framing anchor or nailing plates.
Our Roof Frame Inspection will verify the condition of the following, but not limited to:
- Ceiling joints
- Beams
- Struts
- Rafters
- Under purlins
- Ridge boards
- Truss Framing

Why a Sydney Roof Frame Inspection is important
Most new home builds in New South Wales have Conventional Roof frames, meaning the frame is constructed on site using timber. If the roof frame isn’t constructed properly and inline with Australian Standards you may experience a number of issues later on down the track. Your roof protects everything that is inside your home, hence it is important to make sure it is built to last.
