FAQ

Building inspections in Point Cook: common questions

What is the cost of a Point Cook inspection?

It varies with the service, the stage and the size of the home. The online quote gives a fixed figure for your address rather than a range.

How quickly can you get to Point Cook?

Typically two to four business days, with stage inspections fitted to your builder's program.

When will the report arrive?

Inside a day of the inspection, and stage reports commonly the same evening.

Are the inspectors licensed?

Yes, Building and Plumbing Commission registration, with professional indemnity and public liability cover.

Which standards do you work to here?

AS 4349.1 for pre-purchase, AS 4349.3 for timber pests, AS 2870 for slabs, AS 1684 for framing, AS 3740 for wet areas, with the NCC and the Guide to Standards and Tolerances 2015.

Do you cover the rest of Wyndham?

Yes. Williams Landing, Sanctuary Lakes, Truganina, Laverton, Werribee and Hoppers Crossing are on the same run.

Which stages should I book on a Point Cook build?

Frame first. Point Cook frames have produced missing tie-down bolts and beam connections that do not match the engineering, and none of that survives a plaster sheet.

What separates a defect report from an expert witness report?

A defect report is written so you and your builder can work through it. The Building and Plumbing Commission dispute service and VCAT require an expert witness report drawn to the VCAT practice note.

Do you inspect older Point Cook homes?

Often. Much of Point Cook is now fifteen to twenty five years old, so pre-purchase under AS 4349.1 and building and pest under AS 4349.3 are both common here.

Can I attend?

Yes, and on a frame inspection it is genuinely worth it, because the findings are easier to grasp in place.

What if the builder disagrees with a finding?

Structural items cite the engineering drawing. That is a document you both hold, so the discussion moves onto it.

Do you reinspect after the list is done?

Yes. A reinspection marks off each original item and produces a second dated record.

Who writes the report?

Whoever carried out the inspection, and their number appears on it.
