Perhaps someone has mentioned about staged construction inspections to you or you’re researching because you’re finally building a new home and you want to ensure it’s a quality build that will last the test of time.
But what is a new build staged inspection?
New Build staged inspections are periodic inspections at certain stages during the construction of your home. These inspections are arranged by the home owner not the builder and are designed to over see the build to ensure the builder is constructing the home as per the National Construction code, relevant Australian standards and of a high quality.
In July 2020 NSW enforced a rule change that the builder must allow home owners to use their own Private certifiers. This Law was introduced due to the conflict of interest between private certifiers and the builder, but as always, the builders found a way to manipulate the rules and have been asking their clients to sign a waiver that allows them to use their own private certifier! If you have been asked to sign a waiver don’t! Do some research and find a quality private certifier with great reviews that will ensure the build is at it should be!
