Lock Up Stage Inspection.
The lock up stage is one of the final steps that we take very seriously before we wrap up our reports that will help settle you into your new home build. It's the point at which the structure of your home is complete, with walls, roof, windows, and doors in place. This is the perfect time for a lock up stage inspection.
A lock up stage inspection is a thorough assessment of your home's progress, ensuring that everything is built to code and according to your plans. It's an opportunity to identify any final and potential issues before they become costly problems. Our experienced building inspectors will meticulously examine your home, providing you with peace of mind and protecting your investment.
At Build Right Consultants, we understand the importance of a comprehensive lock up stage inspection checklist. Our building inspectors will carefully examine both the exterior and interior of your home, paying close attention to crucial elements.
