Building a new home in Point Cook VIC

Point Cook is further through its build-out than Tarneit or Donnybrook, so new construction here is infill and the remaining estate releases rather than open greenfield. What has not changed is where the risk sits. Every serious structural finding our inspectors have recorded in Point Cook is a comparison against the engineering: tie-down bolts drawn and not fitted, beam connections that do not match the detail, bracing left out.

Frame is the stage that matters, because the findings here are drawing comparisons.

M10 and M12 tie-down bolts are nominated at specific points. Check those points.

The vapour barrier belongs beneath the steel, extended under the whole slab, and branded.

Bracing that passed at frame gets cut by a following trade before lock-up.

Send the report the day it arrives, while the fix is still an hour's work.

FAQ

Building a new home in Point Cook VIC: common questions

Which stages should I book?

Frame first, without much competition, then pre-handover. Slab pre-pour third, because the vapour barrier problems we find here cannot be corrected after the pour.

Will the builder object to an inspector?

No. You own the house and no standard contract excludes an independent inspection.

How far in advance should I tell you?

A day or two, though earlier is better because programs move.
