The house is closed in and the plasterer is next. This is the last look at insulation, ducts, sarking and the services inside the walls.
One of our inspectors will call you back. If it is urgent, call 1300 471 805.
Lock-up on Werribee builds tends to catch services and insulation rather than structure: ducts crimped in the roof space, batts missing from walls, sarking left off a tiled roof and a sewer junction placed inside its clear zone.
Annotated findings from Lock-up (pre-plaster) inspections.
1Bored piersAfter the holes are drilled and the cages set, before concrete goes in
2Slab pre-pourOnce pods, steel and membrane are down, the day before concrete
3FrameWhen walls, trusses and roof cover are up, before any sarking or insulation hides them
5FixingWhen doors, skirtings and cabinetry are in, ahead of the painter
6WaterproofingAfter the membrane has cured and before the tiler arrives

Because a missing batt cannot be seen once the wall is lined, and gaps reduce the energy rating the home was designed to achieve.
It restricts the air reaching that room, so the heating and cooling work harder for less effect.
Yes. Anything still open from the frame report is looked at again and recorded as fixed or not fixed.
That turns on the roof type, the lot's wind class and what your specification calls for. Where it is specified and missing, we record it for the builder to confirm.
No. We look at visible pipework and junction positions; pressure testing belongs to the plumber.
As soon as the items are fixed. Send the report to the supervisor the day you receive it.
