Laying the Foundation for a Strong Build
At TD Building and Inspections, our Pre-Slab Inspection ensures your site is properly prepared before the concrete slab is poured. We thoroughly assess reinforcements, formwork, plumbing, moisture barriers, and the size and location of beams to identify any issues that could affect the stability and durability of your foundation.
A Pre-Slab Inspection is one of the most important steps when building a new home. Since the entire weight of your home rests on the concrete slab, it’s crucial to address any underlying issues beforehand. If problems with the slab arise, it could lead to significant structural complications, including cracking walls—both inside and out.

The fixing stage covers the installation of internal components such as plasterboard, cabinetry, skirtings, architraves, doors, and built-in fixtures. At this stage, workmanship quality becomes highly visible and directly impacts the final appearance and functionality of the home.
Our fixing inspection reviews alignment, finishes, fixings, clearances, and overall installation quality. We identify defects, incomplete work, or poor workmanship before final completion, allowing issues to be rectified while access is still available. This inspection helps ensure your home meets acceptable quality standards before reaching the final handover phase.
Waterproofing defects are one of the most common causes of building disputes and long-term damage in residential properties. A waterproofing inspection is carried out before tiles or finishes are installed, ensuring critical wet areas are properly protected.
We inspect bathrooms, ensuites, laundries, balconies, and other wet zones to verify membrane application, coverage, drainage falls, and junction detailing. Identifying waterproofing issues at this stage helps prevent water leaks, mould growth, and structural deterioration—saving you from expensive repairs after the home is completed.

Construction Stage Inspections are independent inspections carried out at different stages of a new home build to ensure that construction work meets Australian building standards, approved plans, and quality expectations.
During each stage inspection, a qualified inspector carefully examines the workmanship, materials, and structural components of the property. The goal is to identify potential defects, construction errors, or compliance issues before the next stage of building begins.
At TD Building & Inspections, our Stage Inspections in Brisbane provide homeowners with detailed reports and professional advice so you can be confident your new home is being built correctly and safely.

Assessment of the structural frame, roof trusses, wall alignment, and bracing to ensure structural integrity.
Lock-Up Inspection
Inspection after external walls, windows, and doors are installed to confirm the building is weatherproof and structurally sound.
Pre-Plaster Inspection
Inspection of plumbing, electrical, insulation, and internal structural elements before plasterboard is installed.
Practical Completion Inspection (PCI)
A detailed final inspection before handover to identify defects, incomplete work, or finishing issues.
These inspections ensure each stage of construction meets proper standards before moving forward.
A Stage Inspection should be booked before each construction stage is completed, allowing the inspector to review the work before it is covered or sealed.

Booking inspections at the right time allows issues to be detected early, when they are easier and less costly to fix.
Yes. Builders may perform internal quality checks, but an independent Stage Inspection provides an unbiased assessment focused solely on protecting the homeowner’s interests.

After completing the inspection, you will receive a detailed Stage Inspection report that typically includes:
