Why to get a new home inspection?
Your house is most likely the largest purchase you will ever make. A home inspection is an essential step in the build process, helping to identify issues throughout and after the build. This information ensures your builder is adhering to all relevant Australian Standards and compliance whilst also protecting your health, safety and investment.
At Sidepost, we provide professional and accredited building inspectors who will conduct a thorough inspection of your property. They will evaluate your window frames, external doors, roofing, electrical wiring, site drainage, concrete work and more. And if any safety hazards or defects are found, we’ll note down our findings in a detailed report for you.
Home inspections aren’t just for new builds. If you’re planning on selling your home, it’s a good idea to get an inspection done beforehand. You can then make the necessary repairs or renovations so your property is in tip-top shape before putting it on the market.

What’s included in a home building inspection? - 4 stages
Slab stage
Our new home building inspectors will evaluate your concrete slab for any cracking, shifting or sinking. They will also check all drainage locations match all corresponding slab set-out plans, ensuring there is no risk of flooding. If your concrete slab is compromised i.e showing major cracks or poor craftsmanship, this will be noted in the final report.
Frame stage
The frame of your new home is its structural backbone, and built upon the concrete slab. Our inspectors will check all roofing, trusses, wall framing, windows and doors to ensure they reach an acceptable standard and are in accordance with The National Construction Code.
Lock-up stage
After the roof is installed, Sidepost’s inspectors will survey your home’s exterior and interior. We’ll evaluate all components including brickwork, cladding, weatherproofing and any rendered finishes. All building materials will be checked for defects, such as holes, missing nails, electrical wiring that’s not properly concealed, plumbing and gas. Overall, we need to ensure your home is weather tight and secure.
Pre handover inspection
The final inspection is conducted once your brand new home is completed but before you move in. All fixtures and fittings, such as roof and guttering, shower bases, weep holes, windows, outdoor patio and paved areas will be checked for defects. We’ll go over every house component with a fine-tooth comb to make sure your builder has adhered to all Australian Standards and the National Construction Code.

My house builders did a terrible job. Sidepost saved me
"I had no idea that the framing of my house was so poorly done until Sidepost stepped in. Their inspectors detected issues with the frame's stability, which could have led to major problems down the line. With actual proof, I got the framers to come back and do the job properly. Thank you, Sidepost!"
