Gledswood Hills Building
Inspections

What our inspectors find in Gledswood Hills NSW

Sorted, the Gledswood Hills findings fall into three groups. Tie down and bracing: a missing bolt, an untensioned brace, three hoop straps over the plate, a fixing missed on plywood bracing. Bearing and connections: a rafter cut short, joist hangers absent, bolts and stiffeners at steel, a king stud and a header. And roof framing: blocking, struts and supports. Every one is a connection or a support, which is the honest summary of what a frame inspection actually is. Nothing on the list is about the look of the house, and nothing on it is visible once the linings go on.

Nineteen photographs, one frame inspection, one Gledswood Hills home.

Every finding is about a connection or a support rather than a finish.

Tie down and bracing account for the largest group.

None of it is visible after lining, which is what makes the timing the whole service.

FAQ

What our inspectors find in Gledswood Hills NSW: common questions

Is nineteen items a lot for a frame?

It is a normal number on a volume build. What matters is that they are structural connections rather than cosmetic items, so each one is worth pursuing.

Will the builder fix them?

Usually, and quickly, because at frame stage each item is minutes of work. The same items after lining are a negotiation.

Do you check them again?

At lock-up, marking each one complete, part complete or outstanding.
