Detailed Inspection is Carried out and happy to see previous stage fixes are reviewed by the inspector during this stage
Ty is very expert in his field even a very single detail he can really inspect. Cheers!!!
We had a fantastic experience with Hany. As a first home buyer, we were quite nervous about the inspection process, but Hany was brilliant. He was incredibly thorough and didn't miss a single detail. The report provided was comprehensive, easy to read, and included clear photos of every area of concern. It really gave us the confidence. We highly recommend Hany to friends and family in the area.
Thanks for the detailed report!

Usually, yes. We are in Wyndham most weekdays, and a stage inspection can often be slotted in within a day or two of the builder giving you a date.
Yes, and a large share of our Manor Lakes frame inspections are double storey. Those take longer on site because the upper floor framing, strongbacks and shear blocks are checked against the engineering as well as the walls.
At the stages your builder's program allows access: slab before the pour, frame, lock-up, fixing with waterproofing, and pre-handover. If you can only book two, frame and pre-handover catch the most.
Victorian domestic building contracts generally allow the owner, and someone acting for the owner, reasonable access at agreed times. Give the supervisor notice and we arrange a time with them.
The approved drawings and engineering for your lot, the National Construction Code, the relevant Australian Standards such as AS 1684 and AS 3740, and the Victorian Guide to Standards and Tolerances 2015.
The scope is the same visual inspection under AS 4349.1, but on a home of that age we spend more time on sealants, weep holes, roof water and how the ground has been shaped since the landscaping went in.
If you are buying, generally yes. Termites forage through gardens and fences across Melbourne's west, and the pest inspection to AS 4349.3 looks for activity, damage and conditions the building inspection does not cover.
Within 24 hours of the inspection, often the same evening for stage work so the builder can act before the next trade arrives.
A registered building practitioner with professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Where possible the same inspector returns for every stage of your build.
Each item cites the drawing or clause behind it, which settles most disagreements. If it does not, the next steps are the Building and Plumbing Commission's dispute resolution service (formerly DBDRV) and then VCAT.
All of Manor Lakes 3024 and the surrounding Wyndham suburbs, including Wyndham Vale, Mambourin, Werribee and Tarneit, plus Eynesbury and Quandong on the western side.
No. Those belong to licensed electricians, gasfitters and installers. We record visible items such as a missing termite notice or a disconnected duct, and the report says where a licensed trade needs to confirm something.
