Pre Plaster Inspection

Our per-plaster inspection came in a while ago - the defects/issues raised were very small/minor. The issues raised were mainly reinforcing and completely sealing holes that had been made - ensuring things are to code.

Carlisle have been responsive to our independent inspectors and followed the matters up - something that we hear often other builders will fight tooth and nail to avoid doing any fixes/works.

Our Slab inspection picked up only a few minor issues as well, with a slight slab miss-pour and again reinforcing the frame (mostly at overhanging areas - such as the porch). These were rectified without issue as well.

As mentioned previously in this blog, we used NHI - New Home Inspections. Reports have been good, with clear photo's, general description of the fault and then the applicable code/standard the flagged item relates to.

We will be having them back a third time, for pre-hand over inspection. On average it's around $500 per inspection - but money we believe well spent (Mostly peace of mind when building with Carlisle and just keeping on top of trades, to ensure corners are not cut) - as well, as, we are not versed in the relevant standards & codes.

It's also not in our interest for large items to be fixed latter - as that will cause large delays / destructive/inconvenient fixes in cases.
