🏗️ Brisbane Stage Property Inspections: Your Guide to Building with Confidence

Thinking about building your dream home in Brisbane?

Whether you're just pouring the slab or getting ready for handover, having independent inspections at each stage of your build is the smartest move you can make. We call it stage property inspections — and in Brisbane, BSPI Inspections leads the way.

✅ What Are Stage Property Inspections?

Stage property inspections are independent checks carried out at key milestones throughout your build. Each one ensures that your builder is delivering work that’s up to code, meets the approved plans, and protects your warranty rights.

These inspections catch defects before they become disasters.

🔍 The Most Common Stage Inspections in Brisbane

At BSPI Inspections, we specialise in stage inspections for new homes across Brisbane and beyond. Here’s how they break down:

🧱 1. Pre-Slab Inspection

Before your slab is poured, we inspect:

• Footings, trenching, steel reinforcement

• Plumbing rough-ins

• Vapour barriers and formwork

Why it matters: Once concrete is poured, it’s permanent. Pre-pour is your only chance to catch hidden defects early.

2. Frame Stage Inspection

The frame is the skeleton of your home. We check:

• Wall and roof framing

• Tie-downs, bracing, trusses

• Window and door openings

Why it matters: If your frame isn’t square or compliant, nothing else fits right. This is a critical checkpoint.

🧱 3. Enclosed Stage / lock-up Inspection

This stage covers:

• Windows, doors, brickwork

• External cladding and roof covering

Why it matters: Defects here can lead to water damage, energy loss, or pest intrusion if not caught early.

🛠️ 4. Fixing Stage Inspection

We assess:

• Internal walls, cabinetry, cornices

• Waterproofing in wet areas

Why it matters: This is where things start to look finished — but it’s also where hidden mistakes (like dodgy waterproofing) get covered up.

🏁 5. Practical Completion Inspection (PCI / Handover)

Also called the handover inspection, this is your final walkthrough before you accept the keys.

We go over:

• Paint, tiling, flooring

• Doors, windows, fittings

• Safety and compliance checks

Why it matters: You want your home 100% complete before final payment — not a punch list of excuses.
