At practical completion your new home is ready for occupation apart from a few minor items. At this point an inspection is done with your builder, and a list of items for correction (if needed) is supplied for rectification. A final payment is then to be made to your builder, followed by hand over procedure. After these events have been done then hand over can proceed.

Building Inspection Reports Pre-Purchase (Existing Homes)
AS4349.1 This will occur when an existing home is being purchased usually with a real estate agent. It will normally be requested by a lending authority. There are guidelines for these reports in Australian Standards, and these reports primarily cover the current condition of the home, as the age of the home can limit the use of current Australian Standards.

Building Consultancy Pre & Post Construction
Pre construction consultancy would occur mainly in the planning stage and can be used in general home design and contract selection. If you are using a competent design person this would be sufficient so we would not be required. Post construction is generally to assist in building disputes between any building contractors. Such disputes can be dealt with an appointed mediator for dispute resolution or it can be referred to the building commission and state administrative tribunal. We can assist with this.
