Settlement Inspection

Often there are numerous defects present in the piers, steel, vapour barrier and formwork, and it is important to have them checked, as the building surveyor’s inspector often neglects to either detect or report on these issues.
Every concrete slab is individually designed, specific to the geotechnical conditions of the site. After a soil test confirms the site conditions, this design can be engineered. The structural slab design, and the installation has to comply with the NCC’s Building Code of Australia, and the relevant Australian Standard, AS 2870 – Residential Slabs & Footings.

We check all of the elements of your new home at the pre slab pour inspection stage to ensure it is properly constructed.
There are literally hundreds of things we check, but the main things are the base, pier locations, steel reinforcement, vapour barrier, waffle pod location, plumbing pipes, formwork, and many more.

The pre slab pour inspection can, and often does sneak up on owners, as the builder may not always provide updates until the last minute.
Therefore, we suggest that you inform your builder that you are having this stage inspected ASAP, and try to give us 2-3 days’ notice.

Yes, we can certainly assist with that. Simply provide us with the contact details for your builder/site supervisor and we will help, keeping you informed of any updates.
