When something has failed and your builder will not accept it, we investigate, measure it, and set out what the engineering or the standard actually required.
One of our inspectors will call you back.

Building & Plumbing Commission Australian Society of Building Consultants Strata Community Association Building Dispute Practitioners Society A defect investigation is assessed against the engineering for your lot, the Guide to Standards and Tolerances 2015, the National Construction Code and ABCB Housing Provisions, AS 2870 for slabs, AS 3700 for masonry and AS 3740 for wet areas.
32 checkpoints across 9 areas on a standard Rockbank defect investigation report. Anything locked, sealed or covered by stored goods on the day is recorded as not inspected. We do not pass work we could not reach.
New Construction Stage Inspections Seven checks through a Rockbank build, each timed before the work disappears behind the next trade. 
Pre-Handover (PCI) Inspections The inspection before keys, where the water items get chased first. 
Building and Pest Inspections Building and timber pest together, covering the conditions around the house as closely as the house. 
Pre-Purchase Building Inspections An established property assessed under AS 4349.1, with cracking measured rather than described. 
Insurance Building Reports The likely cause of damage to your Rockbank home, set out for your insurer. 
Dilapidation Reports A dated photographic record of your property before construction starts beside it. 
Expert Witness Reports Written to the VCAT expert evidence practice note once a matter goes to the tribunal. 
Pre-Listing Inspections Learn what a buyer's inspector will write up, before you list. Instant online pricing for Rockbank, or contact the booking team.
Not on its own. An investigation report is drawn up for the owner and the builder. The Building and Plumbing Commission dispute service and VCAT both require an expert witness report drawn to the VCAT practice note, which we prepare separately.
No destructive opening, no engineering certification, no ground sampling and no repair work. If an engineer is required, the report states it.
