Building a New Home? Protect It With Independent Engineer Inspections.
QA Stage & Completion Inspections for New Builds
Donโt let hidden defects cost you later. Our qualified structural engineers inspect your build at every key stage โ from slab to handover โ so you know your home is safe, compliant and built to last.
What Is a QA Stage & Completion Inspection?
Understand the "what, when, and why" of it all
- When it happens: Slab (pre-pour) โ Frame / Lock-up โ Final / PCI (plus re-inspections if needed).
- Why it matters: Catch defects early, avoid costly rework, and gain leverage to have items rectified before handover.
- What we look for: Correct detailing and installation, load paths and tie-downs, bracing and lintels, visible signs of movement or poor workmanship, and adherence to relevant codes and standards.
- How it works: We coordinate timing with you (and your supervisor if preferred), attend site, provide same-day verbal feedback, then issue a clear, engineer-signed report with photos and action-ready recommendations.
- Extras (optional): Re-inspection after rectifications, additional stage checks, or targeted reviews of specific concerns.

Whatโs Included in Your Inspection
No nasty surprises after handover. Each inspection is designed to catch problems early, while they can still be fixed.
- Slab Stage Inspection Catch mistakes before theyโre set in concrete. We check formwork, reinforcement, setdowns, termite protection and slab placement before the pour happens.
- Frame & Lock-up Inspections We confirm alignment, tie-downs, lintels, bracing and load transfer paths are compliant before walls, cladding and plaster hide them.
- Final Stage / Practical Completion Inspection (PCI) We check for movement, cracking, incomplete works and structural compliance โ giving you leverage to demand fixes before handover.
