The Point Cook build stages we inspect

Point Cook frames have produced tie-down bolts drawn on the engineering and never fitted, beam connections that do not match the detail, and bracing missing outright. Those are drawing-versus-reality problems, and only a drawing catches them.

FAQ

New Construction Stage Inspections in Point Cook: common questions

Which Point Cook stage matters most?

Frame, without much competition. Every serious structural finding we have recorded here sits at frame: missing tie-down bolts, beam connections that do not match the engineering, and bracing left out.

How do you know a bolt is missing?

Because it is drawn. The engineering nominates M10 or M12 tie-down bolts at specific locations, and we check the locations rather than form an impression of the frame.

What is outside a stage inspection?

We work visually and by hand. Electrical is not energised or tested, plumbing is not pressure tested, nothing is opened destructively, no engineering is certified and no soil is sampled.
