Summerton Building & Inspection can assist you in making informed decisions when purchasing your new home or investment property, or when you are preparing to place your existing home on the market. SBI will inform you of the condition of your prospective home, will make you aware of any potential safety hazards that may exist, and will grant you an insight into potential repair and maintenance requirements prior to making a financial commitment to the property.
Staged Progress Building Inspections Adelaide
SBI can provide you with peace of mind when you are building a new home or investment property and wish to obtain a second opinion on the compliance and quality of workmanship throughout the construction process.
Pre-Handover Building Inspections Adelaide
SBI can also be of great value prior to your taking possession of your new home from an engaged builder by determining whether quality, accuracy, and compliance has been achieved as per your plans, specifications, and the relevant Codes and Australian Standards. All observable major and minor defects are captured within a comprehensive report that you can forward to your builder so that they can execute remedial actions prior to handover actually taking place, thus nullifying the need for inconvenient maintenance contractors entering the premises post-handover.
We possess the knowledge to determine general building compliance and to identify unobvious construction faults.
