Yes, we most certainly are! Although there is no specific requirement for your building consultant to be registered with the VBA, wouldn’t you want to ensure that the building inspector you choose for your project is qualified and experienced?
While other companies can take days to prepare and send the report, we always complete our detailed reports same day, within hours of the inspection.
In order to provide you with the best possible service, we require a PDF copy of the following documents;
All of these documents can be obtained directly from your builder.
Correct Inspections’ detailed reports outline defects that are non-compliant under the Building Code of Australia, all relevant Australian Standards, VBA Standards & Tolerances, manufacturer’s instructions, and your contract documents.
If defects are not being rectified, then we recommend that you contact your builder to discuss your concerns. You will be able to request to have your concerns escalated to the construction manager or the building manager. If you are unhappy with the response from your builder and need more information on actions you can take, we would recommend that you speak with Domestic Building Dispute Resolution Victoria. They can be contacted on 1300 557 559 or via their website at www.dbdrv.vic.gov.au
As soon as you have been given an approximate date for the inspection, you should email our office to schedule the inspection, to give us as much notice as possible to accommodate your request.
To ensure we get adequate notice from your builder, we strongly suggest you advise your builder in writing that you are using our services, and confirm with them which inspections stages we are helping you with.
No, you do not need to attend. We do not require anyone to meet us on site for any stage inspections, however we will require access from your builder once the site is locked. Access can mean leaving the site open, leaving a key for the inspector, or the site supervisor meeting us to open the site.
