Construction Stage Inspections & Professional Fees

Build Code QA provides independent construction stage inspections for new residential building projects, including custom homes and architect-designed residences. Each inspection is undertaken at a critical stage of construction, providing detailed photographic reporting before important building elements become concealed. Professional fees are determined by the inspection stage, property size, number of storeys and overall project complexity.

Why Stage Inspections Matter

Construction issues are generally easier and less costly to address while the work remains accessible. Once concrete is poured, wall linings are installed, waterproofing systems are covered or finishes are applied, important elements may become difficult or impossible to independently inspect.

Build Code QA conducts independent inspections at key stages of construction, assessing the visible work against relevant drawings, engineering documentation, manufacturer requirements and applicable building requirements before critical elements are concealed.

The best time to understand what is being built is before it becomes concealed.
