Finalinspect: Building Inspection Services
At Finalinspect, we provide thorough, professional home building inspection services, with brand new home inspections at the core of our business. We are a competent, experienced team of qualified building inspectors. Melbourne home owners, landlords and buyers have been relying on our expertise since the 1990s.
We have conducted many maintenance period building inspections on new house, townhouse, unit and apartment inspections, and pre-purchase building inspections in metropolitan Melbourne and right throughout Victoria.
What really sets us apart from other inspection services is our dedication to you: we know the purchase of a property or building is likely one of the largest purchases you will make, and one with potentially costly repair requirements. And so we take the time to carry out all inspections with a level of thoroughness you deserve.
Our new home inspections are comprehensive and accurate and are fully cross-referenced to relevant Australian Standards, the Building Code of Australia (BCA / NCC) and relevant building guidelines and tolerances.
We inspect new homes, townhouses and apartments at all stages of construction. This includes the base or slab stage, the frame stage, the pre-plaster stage, the lock-up stage, the fixing stage and at the final or pre-handover stage.
Finalinspect thoroughly inspects and reports on the condition of both new homes and older houses before they are purchased (i.e. pre purchase inspections).
All of our inspections and building reports comply with and exceed the relevant Australian Industry Standard AS 4349.1 (Inspection of Buildings, Property Inspections, Residential Buildings).
Our new home inspection reports and other building reports are promptly emailed to our clients, usually within 24 – 48 hours of conducting the building inspection.
The advice we provide to all our clients is covered by substantial Liability Insurance cover.
Finalinspect is a long-standing member of the Housing Industry Association (HIA). HIA Membership No. 876406.
Our building inspection service also extends to assisting clients with building disputes and preparing VCAT-compliant reports, completing dilapidation inspections and reports and assisting clients with insurance claim inspections, assessments and reports.
