25.01.2022 If your new home has a Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) rating of 12.5, the whirlybird installed must have a mesh cover fitted to stop potential embers entering the roof void. This cover is incorrectly installed and needs rectification before the certificate of occupancy is given.

25.01.2022 Glorious weekend for inspecting homes. Our team at Bell are happy to answer any questions you may have on these properties or others we have - 5968 6222

24.01.2022 Asbestos was used in over 3000 products in constructing Homes prior to 1980.

23.01.2022 "Thank you very much for researching on the rangehood, really appreciate your effort and will take your advice on it. We would also like to thank you for all your help and for going above and beyond. Your service has been fantastic and we will definitely be recommending you to family and friends." This feedback from a recent customer has made our day. We love that what we do is appreciated and our advice is taken into consideration.

23.01.2022 At this particular Inspection the sub floor had been re stumped and re blocked incorrectly. No permit was in place to carry out the work ( which is a must when re stumping a home). Australian Standards were not met, leading to thousands of dollars of rectifications by a registered builder. Luckily for my clients they had the inspection done and this major defect enabled them to get out of the purchase contract.... -60% of the stumps were out of vertical position by up to 60mm over 450mm high -all the blocking that was put in was loose - x3 sub floor joists were sitting on the top of a wall and the wall frame was sitting straight on dirt. -excessive moisture was through out the sub floor which can let to all sorts of secondary defects.

22.01.2022 If your buying a home check out the importance of a Building Inspection first. https://www.rmblawyers.com.au//building-inspection-reports

21.01.2022 Just as well our client decided to have Pre-Purchase Building Inspection as we found a leak in the bathroom has caused wood rot to the flooring and will need to be replaced. These hidden defects are a perfect example as to why its important to have the investment your making checked by professionals.

21.01.2022 An important read if you are about to renovate.

21.01.2022 We are now on instagram so start following for defects and advice @yourlocalbuildinginspections

20.01.2022 BUYERS BEWARE- advertising photos can hide the substandard quality of some properties. Always seek a building inspection to help identify these works and seek advise to rectify them.

20.01.2022 Another great hidden defect by a Volume Builder, the draws haven't been made to open the same distance. Small hidden defects will be detected just as easy as the more noticeable defects at your final hand over inspection.

20.01.2022 Its Imperative that waterproofing is done correctly, water leaks can cause thousands of dollars of damage if undetected.

19.01.2022 No insulation was installed to this new build at the handover stage. This will result in a comparatively higher cost to heat and cool a property as there was none, which works as a barrier to heat transfer. This helps to keep out unwanted heat in summer and preserves warmth inside your home in winter. It can also help soundproof your home from unwanted airborne noise transfer. Installation of adequate insulation is required according to Australian Standards 4859, which the builder must comply with in relation to the current Australian standards and NCC Australia.

19.01.2022 Builder thought they could just put an off cut in the wardrobe without underlay.

17.01.2022 Got Bugs! and pests! Give Darrin a call from Berwick Pest Control They will free your home from any Pests guaranteed!

16.01.2022 This is a perfect example as to why everybody that builds a home should get a handover inspection report done prior to the certificate of occupancy. Looks finished from a distance doesn't it? If not for a professional inspection noticing the absence of flashing and capping, this would not have been found until it was to late. Further damage would have occurred to the internal wall lining which would have lead to the plaster needing to be replaced. As stated in the NCC all external holes and gaps must be sealed and weather tight.

15.01.2022 Here come the new ant queens, ants are going to be a big problem this season!! Call us today!

12.01.2022 VOLUME BUILDER STRIKES AGAIN! Kitchen island has been installed the wrong way!

10.01.2022 Its seriously not worth the risk, give Simon a call and have your property inspected for Asbestos before you think of renovating. We can have the report results back in 24-48 hours and assist with removal. This link is worth a watch!

10.01.2022 Another great hidden defect by a Volume Builder, the draws havent been made to open the same distance. Small hidden defects will be detected just as easy as the more noticeable defects at your final hand over inspection.

09.01.2022 Give Cadox a call to talk about turning your shambles into chic

09.01.2022 Buying a home is a big investment. Why would you take the risk and not have it inspected?? https://bit.ly/2vSSsF4

08.01.2022 Builders inclusions lists! We check that everything that is in your contract, is put into your new home

06.01.2022 Volume Builders again forgetting to check the latest NCC standards regarding the use of some building materials. As of the 1st of May last year the frame wrap must be vapour permeable (able to breath). Can you imagine how many homes have been constructed using this this type of wall wrap that does no longer meet the standards.

05.01.2022 Just because your house is on a slab in a suburban area doesnt mean that termites termites cant move in. Lucky Berwick Pestcontrol found these guys before this situation got a lot worse.

05.01.2022 PRE PURCHASE INSPECTION High moisture readings around shower bases Could be costly.

03.01.2022 If your looking to buy, sell or even build your home we strongly recommend Peter, his dedication and passion to his clients is truely above and beyond. https://www.facebook.com/talktousreraja/

03.01.2022 Checking the insulation is correct and done to Australian Standards prior to the wall being covered up is vital in new homes.

03.01.2022 There is an increasing amount of renovations happening leading up to Christmas and summer and i urge anyone that they might need to check if there propertys contain Asbestos in areas before you start. Removal of Asbestos should be done by Licensed Companys whom have to notify work safe of the removal on the day. Not only does it put the people living in the home at risk but the adjoining neighbors too if not removed correctly. After the removal its important to ask the com...pany for the clearance certificate which is a visual inspection by a licensed assessor. Please take others into consideration if you or your builder thinks its fine to remove it yourselves because its not. Get your propertys inspected and tested first. @YourLocalBuildingConsulant

01.01.2022 These are classic

01.01.2022 Bee season is among us! Call Berwick pest control if they have moved in with you.
