Off the advice of other blogs we have paid for independent inspections at 3 stages of the build with the first one being frame stage.
We used New home inspections and just received the report.
A couple of comments.
The report is very detailed with both notes and photos. It refers to the exact Aus standards where appropriate and generally explains the problems very clearly.
Carter grange are from every thing I have read and experienced very good builders. They also know that we are onsite virtually daily and we are keeping on eye on things. Yet there still is quite alot of problems. There are 14 'issues' brought up on the report. I get the feeling that some will be very easy to fix but I get the feeling on others it wont be as easy. There are comments to the effect that if it cant be fixed building permits may need to be altered and approved. God know how many problems would be happening on other places that didn't have any independent checking.
We have asked for a meeting with CG to discuss a resolution to these issues, it will be interesting to see how that meeting goes.
On a side note the Hebel is schedules to go in next Monday
