Frame Stage Inspection in Sydney

Residential Properties • Commercial Properties

iSPECT Building Inspections carry out new home frame stage inspections across Sydney and greater NSW.

The frame stage inspection is completed after the frame has been approved by the building surveyor appointed by your builder. The frame stage inspection completed by our qualified inspector is much more detailed than that of the builder's surveyor.

Frame Stage Inspection Sydney — What We Check

Our qualified inspector will check to ensure that:

The poured concrete slab does not have any exposed steel around its perimeter — we check for "blow-out" along the edges and bottom plate overhang which if not rectified will create future problems
The concrete slab does not contain excessive cracking and dusting
The concrete slab is level and in most part even
Constructed wall frames are compliant with the building code and bracing is installed correctly
Roof truss installation and bracing is to plan
The frame meets the engineering design and plans supplied to our inspector

The 4 Stages of New Home Inspection

The frame stage is the second of four inspections we recommend during the process of building a new home:

1
Pre-Slab Stage Inspection
Before concrete is poured
2
Frame Stage Inspection
After frame approval, before cladding
3
Lockup (Pre-Plaster) Inspection
Before internal plastering
4
Completion Inspection (Handover / PCI)
Final check before handover

Our qualified inspectors work for you — our report will assist you to discuss any areas of concern with your builder to ensure you get the home you want built for what you paid for.

Our team includes both registered builders and experienced building inspectors, each with a minimum of 10 years industry experience. The frame stage inspection is carried out in accordance with Australian Standard AS4349. 1-2007.

Overall, I had a positive experience with PCI. The inspection report was detailed, clear, and easy to understand. The inspector also took the time to explain the findings over the phone, which was very helpful and provided additional clarity. The only downside was that the re-inspection cost was the same as the initial inspection fee. However, the re-inspection was focused mainly on checking the items and defects identified in the original report rather than conducting a full inspection of the entire house. While the service was professional and thorough, I believe a reduced fee for a targeted re-inspection would provide better value for customers. That said, I appreciate the quality of the report and the inspector's willingness to answer questions and explain the findings.

Called and was able to get an inspection booked for the next day. Price is reasonable, got report the next morning, however do wish the report was more detailed. Was able to accompany the inspector and get immediate feedback on the property which was great. A lot more photos were taken than was actually included in the report, would've liked to see some of the photos I was shown in person in the actual report.

Quick and responsive team. Did our inspection the next day and got detailed report before 24 hours. Report was very detailed with photo evidence. Recommended. For honesty, this review is written for a gift card they are offering. However they did not ask to write a positive review, they simply asked to give a review and I would have given same review even without the gift card regardless.
