Building Inspections
Independent new home building inspections
Prior to finalising your purchase of a unit, apartment, or house, a proactive independent building inspection is an absolute necessity. At Next Gen Building and Design, we provide thorough inspections that shield your investment against flaws and potential risks. Moreover, we possess the capability to oversee your entire project, right from defect identification and scope determination, to remedial design and repairs, and even offering expert witness support in construction disputes if necessary.
Inspections by a Qualified Builder
From the slab to the meticulous pre-handover inspection
We are not associated with any house builders or developers and work solely for you, the purchaser and all inspections are carried out by a qualified builder.
While builders aim to deliver high-quality new home construction and renovation projects, it is not uncommon to encounter problems during the construction phase.
We can deliver independent inspections at every stage of your project.
- Foundation checkpoint
- Frame assessment
- Finishing touches audit
- Final walkthrough
We inspect new homes or renovations either during the build or at final handover so you are not left with mistakes and compromised quality.
