  • Engineering checked on site
  • Report by the next day
  • Clear photos for the supervisor
  • Reinspection when needed
  • AS 2870 and AS 1684 cited

The Berwick build stages we inspect

The Berwick findings that matter sit in the frame: packers under girder trusses, undersized bolts in engineered connections, split posts and loadbearing junctions cut back for pipes. All of it is covered by plaster within weeks.

FAQ

New Construction Stage Inspections in Berwick: common questions

Which Berwick stages should I book if I can only afford two?

Frame and pre-handover. The frame carries the engineered beams and connections, and pre-handover is your last chance before you sign for the house.

Which checks fall outside a Berwick stage visit?

We inspect by eye, by tape and by hand. Wiring is not energised or tested, plumbing is not pressure tested, nothing is opened up, engineering is not certified and soil is not tested.

How far ahead should a Berwick stage be booked?

One to two business days is normally enough. Send the supervisor's date as soon as you have it, since it often moves.
