Building Inspection Results

First up this morning we had our independent building inspection with Paul Roberts. I found Paul by ringing any likely building inspectors in the Yellow pages, most weren't into new projects but instead doing pre-settlement inspections on existing homes.

Introduced Paul to Lincoln (Our SS) and away we went. End result was Paul said it was shaping up to be an excellent home with a high standard of workmanship throughout and no visible major structural faults. A few minor issues were found with the worst being the out of square bulkhead in the laundry. The other smaller issues being a couple of chipped tiles, one floor tile too low and the edges of the cupboard shelves needing a slight sand to take the sharp edge off before painting. Paul said that will help the painted surface wear better.

The both showers had the correct fall and the portico roof also had a good amount of fall which helps prevent dirt build-up. The dip in the ensuite ceiling just needs some more fixing screws added.

Final thoughts, $110 well spent for some peace of mind and confirmation that everything is on track.
