New Build / Stage Inspections in Canterbury
Independent oversight at each construction stage, from pre-line through to practical completion.
Stage inspections give you an independent set of eyes on your build at the critical milestones — foundations, pre-wrap, pre-line, and practical completion — separate from your builder and the council inspector.
Once the linings are on, defects are expensive to find and harder to argue. Independent inspection at each stage documents the quality of workmanship while it can still be corrected, and gives you a clear record if a dispute arises later.
