At East Coast Home Inspections, we can supply a tailored inspection program or you can choose one or more of our standard stage inspections. The choice is yours.

For the best result, combining 2 or more inspections (eg Frame, Pre-Paint and Pre-Handover) will ensure the highest standards and quality are maintained over the duration of the build. Each inspection sets the basis for the next. For example a good Pre-Paint Inspection usually results in a great Pre-Handover Inspection.

Please note:

If we are scheduled to visit a home site on information supplied by either the homeowner or the Site Supervisor and the home is not ready for that particular stage visit, we will invoice the homeowner $140 ex gst for the site visit. We have had numerous instances when we are advised that the required works have been completed, only to find that the home’s construction is not at the required (and requested) stage of completion.
