    FAQ

    Building inspections in Morayfield: common questions

    How is a Morayfield inspection priced?

    By the stage and the home size, so a single level slab costs less than a two storey handover. Get a price via the online form before you book. Travel within the suburb is included.

    How soon can you get to a lot in Morayfield?

    Most bookings are covered within a week, and a pour or a tiler arriving tomorrow can often be done at short notice. Call as soon as the builder gives you a date.

    Is the report delivered immediately?

    Within 24 hours of the visit, and stage reports often arrive the same evening so the builder sees them before the next trade starts.

    Which stages matter most on a Morayfield build?

    Check the slab and frame against the drawings and the QBCC Standards and Tolerances Guide, then perform a handover inspection. Our Morayfield slabs keep turning up missing step reinforcement and short cover, and our frames keep turning up connections that differ from the engineering. If you need to ensure the services are clear, add a lock-up inspection to your list.

    Is your balcony safe and secure?

    Because many homes here have a tiled balcony above a room, and our Morayfield reports have recorded undersized balcony drains, a membrane not taken into the overflow and tiles laid on dabs instead of a full bed. A cracked tile can lead to water damage and a costly repair.

    Why hire an inspector for a new build in Morayfield?

    The principal certifier checks for compliance with the QBCC Standards and Tolerances Guide, but they do not provide a detailed list of defects for you. You need a separate report to verify the approved drawings and NCC standards before the handover inspection.

    Who is the local regulator for buildings in Morayfield?

    The regulator is the Queensland Building and Construction Commission. They enforce the Queensland Building and Construction Commission Act 1991 and manage the QBCC Home Warranty Scheme for work in the City of Moreton Bay.

    Do your reports follow Australian Standards?

    Yes. We measure existing homes against AS 4349.1. For timber pests we use AS 4349.3. Stage and handover inspections are measured against your approved plans, the engineering, the NCC and the QBCC Standards and Tolerances Guide.

    Is your inspection work licenced in Queensland?

    Yes. We hold a valid QBCC licence and carry professional indemnity and public liability insurance. We also provide a certificate of insurance upon request.

    What happens if I find a problem after I move into a Morayfield home?

    If the defect is major, it is covered by the QBCC Home Warranty Scheme. The QCAT tribunal can make orders to fix the issue. A pre-purchase or stage inspection report provides evidence to support your claim.

    Can I watch you inspect?

    You can, but you must stay outside the construction zone. The inspector will point out specific defects and explain what is required to meet the standard.

    Which suburbs around Morayfield do you cover?

    We cover the City of Moreton Bay including Morayfield, Bellmere, Burpengary East, Caboolture, Upper Caboolture, Beachmere and Moorina.

    What do you do with the inspection report?

    Review the sections on waterproofing, drainage and the structure. If you are unsure about the findings, we can interpret the standards and explain the next steps for the builder.
