How it works

The process

  1. 1

    Book the package at slab stage

    The package is most effective when booked at the start of construction. An inspector is assigned to your build from the first stage through to end-of-warranty.

  2. 2

    Inspector attends each stage in sequence

    The same inspector follows your build through every relevant stage, slab, plate high or frame, roof frame or lock-up, PCI, handover, and warranty, building a complete quality history.

  3. 3

    Report delivered after each stage

    A detailed report is delivered after each inspection, building on previous findings. Each report is available for the life of the project.

  4. 4

    Advice available throughout the build

    Your inspector is available to answer questions at any point during the build and through the defect liability period.

The detail

About a new build full stage inspection package

The full stage inspection package is SURE’s most comprehensive new build offering, an independent inspector assigned to your build from slab pour to end-of-warranty, covering every critical stage along the way. You book all required inspections upfront at a discounted rate compared to individual bookings, and ensure every stage is inspected to Australian Standards from foundation to completion.

The package covers every stage relevant to your build, typically slab, plate high or frame, roof frame or lock-up, practical completion, handover, and end-of-warranty (the exact sequence depends on whether the home is framed or double-brick, and may include multiple slab stages). Each inspection generates a detailed report with photographic evidence, and each report builds on the last, creating a complete quality history of your home’s construction that no individual inspection can match.

The key advantage of the package is continuity. The same inspector follows your build from start to finish, understanding the specific characteristics of your site, your plans, and your builder’s work patterns. Issues identified at one stage are tracked through to resolution, and recurring patterns (if any) are flagged early. This longitudinal perspective catches systemic construction quality issues that would be invisible to an inspector seeing the build for the first time at practical completion.

Common questions

About new build full stage inspection package

Which stages are included in the package?

The relevant stages depend on your build type and location. A typical Perth double-brick build runs slab, plate high, roof frame, PCI, handover, and warranty. A typical Sydney framed build runs slab, frame, lock-up, PCI, handover, and warranty. Builds with multiple slab stages (e.g. split-level or multi-pour) can include additional slab inspections. Your inspector will confirm the right sequence for your build before scheduling.

How much do I save with the package?

Booking all required stages upfront through the package gives you a discounted rate compared to booking each inspection individually. You also get continuity, the same inspector follows your build from start to finish, building a complete picture of your home's construction quality.

Can I add stages later if I start with individual inspections?

Yes, but you'll pay individual stage pricing. The package rate is only available when booked upfront. We always recommend starting at slab stage, it's the foundation of the build and the earliest point at which defects can be caught and rectified before later stages cover them up.

What if my build takes longer than expected?

The package covers all stages regardless of build timeline. Whether your build takes 6 months or 18 months, every inspection is included. We schedule each stage inspection around your builder's progress, not a fixed calendar.

Is the package available in both Perth and Sydney?

Yes. The full stage inspection package is available across all SURE territories in Perth and Sydney. Your assigned inspector will follow the build from first stage to final warranty inspection.
