New Home Inspections Casey
New Home Building Inspections are an independent home building inspection company, with over 30 years experience specialising in inspections for new and existing homes in the City of Casey.
We have extensive knowledge of all the current Building Standards, Acts and Regulations. In addition, we are a proud member of The Master Inspector Association of Australia. This means you are assured that we abide by their strict code of Ethics.
We are also a Registered Building Practitioner. In fact, we are classified as ‘Domestic Builder Unlimited‘. This means we can carry out and manage all the components of domestic building work relating to the construction, renovation, improvement or maintenance of a home.
We carry out a lot of new home building inspections in Casey. We also do a lot of pre purchase inspections, as well as swimming pool inspections.
This is because it is the only way to be certain that there are no problems with a new home. As a result, when new home owners in Casey engage us to do an inspection they are confident that all work has been completed to an acceptable standard before they move in.
Unfortunately you can’t assume that just because your new Casey home is new that it does not have any faults. For this reason, the only way to guarantee that you know the condition of your new home is to have a new home building inspection. In addition, the inspection needs to be done before you make final payment to your builder. This is because it is usually much harder to get faults fixed once payment is made.
Usually a new home building inspection is carried out when your builder has finished a stage of the build, and a progress payment is due. No matter what stage of the new home build we are doing, we always identify any defects in your new home. In addition, we list any non compliant issues. As well, we always use a detailed checklist to make sure nothing is missed.

Swimming Pool Inspections Casey
When you build a swimming pool or spa in your new home in the Casey, you need to register it with your Local Council within 30 days of receiving your Occupancy Certificate or Certificate of Final Inspection. All swimming pools and spas that can hold more than 30cm of water are subject to this requirement. There are only a few exceptions to the rules. These include bird baths, fish ponds and spas in private bathrooms.
In addition, the first certificate of barrier compliance must be lodged at the same time as the application for registration.
Subsequent certificates of compliance are due every four years.

Reviews
“We cannot recommend NHBI highly enough. What you want and need in quality versus quantity in your independent reports. Through friends, family and research, we found you may be paying for the name more than the quality of the service with other inspectors. With other inspectors we found they were often fluffing it up, without providing the substance to the report that NHBI would provide. Paul properly referenced with building codes any sub-standard work and stated what builders needed to do to actually fix them.
We absolutely loved Paul’s professionalism, approachability, and responsiveness. He fully explained how he does his inspections and reports, and was more than accommodating with our often last minute inspection requests. If we ever take the plunge and build again, we will absolutely use NHBI”
