For the discerning owner
with a new house or extensions under
construction.
We offer independent inspections at critical
stages of construction. If you need building
progress inspections, ABS inspections are for
you.
This service will assist you with building
problems, help owner builders, assessment of the
standard work carried out or ass progress
claims.
It is a small investment to help solve a
dispute, keep the job running smoothly or just
reassurance.
While the building is being constructed there
should be an overseer who is aware of building
requirements to perform regular inspection and
reports, to ensure that the building is
constructed to your expectations.
We prefer to work for our clients interests
without causing added tension or conflict with
the contractor so the building process is not
delayed by problems or rectification work during
its construction.
