Pre Handover & Building Stage Inspections in Brisbane – What You Need to Know

Building a Home in Brisbane? Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Skip Stage Inspections

If you're building in Brisbane or anywhere across South East Queensland, stage inspections are one of the most important steps you can take to protect your investment. Whether you're at frame stage, fixing stage, or approaching handover, a qualified inspector can spot hidden issues before they become costly problems.

At BSPI Inspections, we offer independent building stage inspections at every key stage of construction — from slab to final pre handover.

What is a Stage Inspection?

A building stage inspection (also known as a construction stage inspection) is a detailed check at specific points throughout your build. These inspections help verify the work is being completed to standard, compliant with codes and plans, and free of visible defects.

We typically inspect at the following stages:

🔹 Frame Stage Inspection

We check the wall frames, roof trusses, bracing, and fixings to ensure the structure is straight, secure, and compliant before any internal linings go up.

🔹 Fixing Stage Inspection

This is when fixtures and fittings are installed — including doors, skirtings, cabinetry, and more. We inspect the quality of finishes and ensure things are installed square, straight, and to spec.

🔹 Pre Handover Inspection (aka Building Handover Inspection)

This final inspection checks for defects in finishes, fittings, paintwork, flooring, waterproofing, and more. It’s your last chance to identify issues before making final payment and taking possession.

Why Brisbane Builders Often Miss Key Defects

Brisbane is booming — and builders are busy. With fast build times and multiple trades on-site, things can (and do) slip through the cracks. We regularly find:

• Framing issues like over-spanned beams or missing fixings

• Poor paintwork and cracked cornices

• Doors that don’t close or align

• Waterproofing defects in bathrooms

• Incomplete or rushed finishing work
