Inspections
Preparing for an inspection
- The builder is to ensure that the site is safe and accessible for the Building Inspector.

- For frame inspections, the owner or builder must have emailed through a copy of the roof truss and/or floor truss computations, layout plans and certification in PDF format from the manufacturer to [email protected] for approval prior to booking an inspection. Contact the Building Surveyor who has been managing your application for further advice.
- For final inspections all certificates of compliance (examples plumbing, electrical) must be provided on the day to ensure that there are no delays with sign off. Contact the Building Surveyor who has been managing your application for further advice.
