How it works

How a Catherine Field booking runs

Six steps, enquiry to the call at the end.

  1. 01

    Tell us the address

    Lot or street number, and how far the build has got. A fixed price comes back with travel in it.

  2. 02

    We find a day

    Normally inside the week. On a stage visit the builder's program picks the date, not us.

  3. 03

    Give the supervisor notice

    A single message that an independent inspector is coming saves a locked gate and a wasted trip.

  4. 04

    The inspection

    An hour at a pier check, two to three at a frame or handover, and longer wherever an upper level needs safe access.

  5. 05

    The report

    Out inside twenty four hours, each item photographed, located and tied to the requirement it misses.

  6. 06

    The phone call

    We ring and work through it, sorting the structural items from the presentation ones so you know where to stand firm.

FAQ

Building inspections in Catherine Field: common questions

What is the price of an inspection here?

It follows the house and the stage rather than the suburb. A single storey frame check is at the bottom of the range, a two storey handover at the top. Put the address into the form and a fixed figure comes back with travel included.

How quickly can somebody attend?

Normally inside the week. For any stage visit, call the moment the trade in question is finishing, because the window belongs to the builder's program and it is measured in days.

When will the report reach me?

Inside twenty four hours, and usually the same evening after a stage visit, because a stage report loses its value the instant the following trade turns up.

Why are there no client reviews on the page?

The Google rating in the reviews section is real and you can read every review behind it on Google.

What does a frame inspection actually turn on?

Hardware, more often than timber. The nearest frame records we hold are about missing washers, triple grips at a truss tie, bracket fixings and a bottom plate overhanging its slab by twenty five millimetres. Small parts, structural jobs.

Does Camden Council inspect the build?

Council deals with the planning approval. The build runs through a principal certifier who issues the construction certificate and the occupation certificate and does the mandatory critical stage inspections, all of which serves the certificate rather than your defect list.

Which documents and standards do you measure to?

Framing against AS 1684 and the engineering for your lot, masonry against AS 3700, wet areas against AS 3740, termite management against AS 3660, and the whole job against the National Construction Code, the ABCB Housing Provisions and the Guide to Standards and Tolerances 2017.

How long does the statutory warranty last?

Under the Home Building Act 1989 it is six years on a major defect and two on anything else, running from the date the work was completed. The two year period is the one people lose, because it covers most of a handover list and expires quietly.

What is not covered?

Our work is visual and confined to whatever can be reached without risk. We energise no circuit, pressurise no pipe, operate no appliance, dismantle nothing and certify no engineering.

Which areas do you travel to from here?

Leppington, Gledswood Hills, Oran Park, Barker, Gregory Hills and Denham Court, plus Austral and the rest of the Camden and Macarthur area, at no travel charge.

What happens once the report is written?

It goes to your builder and we ring you to work through it. That call is where a long list becomes a short plan, because it tells you which three items are worth an argument.
