Clear descriptions of identified defects.
Fast Turnaround
Typically within 24 hours where possible.

Focused on the property’s condition.
Melbourne-Wide

Why Does a Brand-New Home Need an Inspection?
New finishes and modern fittings don’t always mean every part of a home has been completed correctly.
An independent new home building inspection helps identify construction defects and workmanship concerns before you accept the property.
An inspection can help you:
Visible Defects
Identify visible defects and incomplete work.
Moisture & Cracking
Detect signs of moisture, cracking or drainage problems.
Builder Documentation
Document issues before discussing them with your builder.
Further Investigation
Identify issues that may need further investigation.
Informed Decisions
Make informed decisions before handover.
Booking before handover gives you an opportunity to raise identified issues with your builder while construction is still fresh.
What Does Your New Home Building Inspection Cover?
Our new home building inspection Melbourne service assesses accessible areas for defects, workmanship issues and signs of potential problems.
Areas assessed include:
Interior
Wall and ceiling finishes, cracking, uneven surfaces, doors and windows.
Exterior
Brickwork, cladding, render, drainage and external finishes.
Roof
Accessible roofing components and signs of water entry.
Wet areas
Tiling, drainage, moisture indicators and visible defects.
Fixtures and fittings
Doors, cabinetry and installation concerns.
Structural indicators
Cracking, movement and other warning signs.
Inspections are generally visual and non-invasive. Concealed construction elements and specialist electrical, plumbing or HVAC testing are not automatically included.

When Should You Arrange a New Home Inspection?
The right timing depends on your construction stage.
Before Handover
Arrange an inspection when construction is substantially complete to document defects before accepting your new home.
During Construction
A dedicated stage inspection can assess accessible work at key milestones before subsequent construction conceals it.
After Handover
If issues become apparent after moving in, a building defects warranty inspection may help document concerns.
Not sure which inspection suits your situation? Share your construction stage with BEZT, and we’ll help you identify the appropriate service.
Your Inspection Report: Understand What Needs Attention
A list of defects is useful. Clear documentation makes it easier to discuss those concerns with your builder.
BEZT provides a photo-supported building inspection report outlining identified defects and areas requiring attention.
Your report includes:
Photographs
Photographs of relevant findings.
Descriptions
Descriptions of workmanship defects.
Significant concerns
Details of significant concerns.
Next steps
Recommendations for further investigation or rectification where appropriate.
Reports are typically delivered within 24 hours where possible, helping you review the results and plan your next steps.

Questions Melbourne Homebuyers Ask Before Booking
An independent inspection provides another assessment of accessible areas and may identify defects requiring the builder’s attention.
Ideally, arrange an inspection once construction is substantially complete but before accepting handover. Confirm timing and access with your builder.
Yes. You can share the documented findings with your builder and request a review. Whether rectification is required depends on the defect, contractual obligations and applicable building requirements.
Discuss the report with your builder and request clarification or rectification where appropriate. Seek specialist advice for significant or disputed concerns.
Yes, subject to availability. A post-handover or defects warranty inspection may be more suitable depending on your circumstances.
No. A standard visual inspection is not a comprehensive compliance certification. It identifies concerns within the agreed inspection scope.
