Practical Completion Inspection

My husband and I attended this together along with a Private Inspector that we had organised for a sweet $695.00

The report came back within 24 hours and there were only a few issues that Clarendon will need to address, the Inspector did say that for a project home this is one of the better ones he had seen and it was built pretty well. (My SS was pretty chuffed to hear that)

Small Issues:

Paint touchups here and there internal and External – this will be fixed prior to handover

Bricks are leaching salt and require cleaning and sealing – SS has arranged for this

Bricks require repointing in some areas – This has now been done

Lintels need to be painted – SS said this happens with the final paint job

Window sill on Parapet is not sloping and requires sealing

Aluminium sliding door frames are bowed / loose and require securing there are also gaps in the frame which require sealing

A few grout touch ups are to be done in bathrooms

Another General clean of the site and internal is required

Marks on the edge of the face panel and are damaged and require repair (kitchen island bench)

Skirting tiles missing to back side of laundry (under stair well)

Bigger Issues:

Significant crack in the mortar over the head course of the window in the dining room – Brickwork requires re-laying to correct allingment (SS had this fixed the next day)

Brick wall overhangs the Slab / Footing and cracking is present in the concrete footing – recommend further investigation by structural engineer.  (SS has made the call to have extra concrete added the the slab edge) with a 50year structural guarantee I am not to concerned… I will more than likely be dead by then.

Colourbond steel capping is not covering the top edge of the rendered Parapet wall and requires additional render and painting. (SS has arranged for this to be fixed)

Cracked brick in window sill in bedroom and requires replacing – this has been done

The wall in the stair well has a flush line on the joint and the fixing is not adequate, this requires re-setting of the joint (this is very visible)

The inspection took around 2 hours most things we had already picked up, but having the Inspector there was great as he documents it all down and I sent the important parts of the report to my SS to have fixed.  Also the inspector went up into the roof space and checked it all out, something we were not going to do.
