Lock up stage inspection

Welcome to our latest project showcase at Greater Geelong Building & Pest Inspections! Today, we take you to Charlemont, a vibrant and rapidly developing land between Geelong and Barwon Heads. Here, we had the privilege of conducting a crucial lock-up stage inspection for a brand-new build, underscoring the significance of thorough assessments at every construction milestone.

Charlemont: a thriving land development

Charlemont represents the best of both worlds, nestled strategically between the vibrant heart of Geelong and the serene beauty of Barwon Heads. This evolving land development is a testament to modern urban planning, promising a balanced lifestyle. As new homes and structures spring to life, ensuring that each construction phase meets the highest quality, safety, and compliance standards becomes increasingly vital.

The lock-up stage inspection: a critical milestone

Our lock-up stage inspection is a pivotal moment in any construction journey. The property starts taking shape at this juncture, with walls, roofing, and external cladding in place. It’s the ideal time to assess crucial elements that, if left unchecked, could lead to future issues. In Charlemont, our inspection uncovered certain defects that required attention, below are some of these:

•  Deviation on vertical plane (bowing): Ensuring walls are plumb and free from bowing is essential for structural integrity. Our inspection identified and addressed this deviation.
• Damp-proof course protruding from wall face: Proper damp-proofing is crucial to prevent moisture infiltration. We identified issues with the damp-proof course and ensured it was properly aligned.
• Wall cladding not nailed off: Secure wall cladding is vital for aesthetics and protection. Our inspection revealed areas where wall cladding needed proper securing.
