Footings/Piers- after excavation for and prior to the placement of footings. The method of construction will determine when or if this inspection is necessary.
Slab- prior to pouring any in-situ reinforced concrete building element, this refers to slab on ground, core filled block work, suspended slabs and the like.
Stormwater
- prior to covering any stormwater drainage connections. Primarily this inspection requires the certifier to view the stormwater connection to the street, easement, detention basin or other means of stormwater disposal. The inspection does not include linework associated with effluent disposal or water supply but should include the stormwater line to the connection point.
Frame- prior to the covering of the framework for any floor, wall, roof or other building element. Generally this is prior to lining the structure and ideally after all services and installations (ie air conditioning, plumbing, wiring) have been installed but permits external cladding, veneers or roofing.
Wet Area- prior to the covering of waterproofing in any wet areas. Wet areas include bathrooms, ensuites and laundries.
Final- after the building work has been completed (inc. driveways & landscaping) and prior to any occupation certificate being issued in relation to the building. Should the structure not be completed and occupation is sought an interim occupation certificate may be considered.
