Lockup (Pre-Plaster) Stage Inspection in Broadbeach, QLD
Residential Properties • Commercial Properties • Servicing Regional Queensland
Troy from iSPECT Building Inspections Broadbeach advises that the lockup stage (often referred to as the pre-plaster stage) is the point in time when building a new house where you can "lock up" the property — typically when all windows and exterior doors have been installed.
The lockup stage is a major milestone. Once external doors and windows are in, it allows for internal appliances and fixtures (light fixtures, taps, etc.) to be installed. Troy recommends engaging a registered builder and experienced building inspector to complete a new home lockup stage inspection in Broadbeach before internal plastering covers the work permanently. Call (07) 5662 1277 to book your lockup inspection.

The inspector came to inspect the house and he was quite knowledgeable. The house was brand new but he found a few defects that I was able to ask for fixing before buying the house. I highly recommend this company.
