Hi
I am building with one of the major builder and they reassured me that they have their own 3rd party inspectors to check through all the stages of build from checking of materials used as in contract till handover. But of course I would not take their words for it. Especially when there are so many inexperienced tradies around that go for fast job and fast money! Do you do such full stage inspection? How much will it cost and for which stage? Thanks matey!

Hi Elle, I totally agree with you, do not trust what the builder says regardless of the size, they always try to cover their fedects unless it’s too obvious or you bring it up. We did not do a full stage review, we only did a final stage inspection but even so lots of defects were identified, some of which you would never be aware of! It cost us only a couple of hundreds and it’s well worth it. The inspector gave us a very detailed inspection report plus lots of advice on how to deal with the builder which is very useful. Hope my answer helps.

Hi Ellen,
I totally again with Z.Chen.
My builder promised my wife and I that he would build our master piece, and just before the build started I said I was getting my own private inspector in and said that I'd have to pay a admin fee to allow the inspector on-site. So that scared us off as that fee wasn't in our budget. We do kick ourselves for not getting every stage done, but we are so glad that we did get the final inspection done as there were so many defects that I didn't even see and I would visit the property every 3rd day. We were ment to be settling this friday but thats no longer happening due to all the problems that were found.
I highly recommend that you do get every stage checked yes it may cost some $$$ but don't do the same mistake that I did. Hope this can help

Hi! A small piece of asbestos was placed on a out side bed room widow sill by an unknown person. I picked it up and broke it in half then through it in the garden. Should I be concerned about this or am I over reacting?
Please could I have your advice and opinion .

Hi Peter,
If it is asbestos there could be fibres that can potentially make it unsafe. Leaving it in the garden is a risk for small children or animals, and anyone working the garden in that area. You can place this (using gloves) in plastic bag. Then place this bag in a second heavy duty plastic bag and take it to the tip. You do pay more to dispose of asbestos, and some tips do not take this substance. However this is the best way to handle the suspected substance. You are able to remove less than 10ms yourself. There is a great link at asbestos awareness that you can review. https://asbestosawareness.com.au/disposal-legalities-nsw/diy-removal-nsw/

I am planning to makeover both my kitchen and laundry. We will be spending a substantial amount. I have read some mixed reviews of various kitchen companies (Freedom and Good Guys) and one of the complainants (who has had some very unfortunate experiences with one of these companies) suggested we should get a building inspector. Do you do this sort of work?
