Frame Stage Inspection in Dandenong, VIC
Residential Properties • Commercial Properties • Servicing South Eastern Victoria
Dimitrios from iSPECT Building Inspections Dandenong carries out new home frame stage inspections across Dandenong and greater VIC.
The frame stage inspection is completed after the frame has been approved by the building surveyor appointed by your builder. The frame stage inspection completed by Dimitrios is much more detailed than that of the builder's surveyor. Call (03) 8797 0080 to book your frame stage inspection in Dandenong.
Frame Stage Inspection Dandenong — What Dimitrios Checks
Dimitrios will check to ensure that:
The poured concrete slab does not have any exposed steel around its perimeter — we check for "blow-out" along the edges and bottom plate overhang which if not rectified will create future problems
The concrete slab does not contain excessive cracking and dusting
The concrete slab is level and in most part even
Constructed wall frames are compliant with the building code and bracing is installed correctly
Roof truss installation and bracing is to plan
The frame meets the engineering design and plans supplied to our inspector
The 4 Stages of New Home Inspection
The frame stage is the second of four inspections we recommend during the process of building a new home:
1
Pre-Slab Stage Inspection
Before concrete is poured

Dimitrios is a registered builder and experienced building inspector with a minimum of 10 years industry experience servicing Dandenong and South Eastern Victoria. The frame stage inspection is carried out in accordance with Australian Standard AS4349. 1-2007.

We engaged iSPECT and were assigned David Murphy for a building and pest inspection. He was thorough, professional and took the time to explain everything clearly. The report was detailed and easy to understand. Highly recommend David and iSPECT.

iSPECT recently completed a Building and Defect inspection and report for me on a property I am looking to purchase. They made it very easy and the service was great. I provided selling agents contact details and it was all arranged without issue direct with agent. Turn around time from call to completion and receipt of report was amazing. Highly recommend iSPECT as a business.

A huge thank you to Ispect Building Inspections and in particular our inspector Aaron Perez compiled a fantastic and comprehensive report for our recent investment property purchase in Reservoir. As we are located in Brisbane having a trusted and professional inspector with a keen eye for detail is crucial. He also was available to take my call and answer all of my questions thus allowing me to proceed with full confidence. Thanks Aaron and the Ispect team we will not hesitate to use you again for our next purchase! ??
