What our inspectors find in Officer VIC
Across Officer stage and handover inspections, the findings that matter most fall into three groups: structural packing and wedging at lock-up, wet area water stops and membranes, and external flashings and clearances at handover. On established homes the theme is water: downpipes, condensate, sealant and ground falls.
Lock-up: trusses and beams packed on wedges or sheet offcuts.
Frame: straps not hooped over plates, missing truss grips, plate overhang.
Waterproofing: water stops short of the wall flashing, thin niche corners.
Handover: cladding into the ground, open flashings, debris in drains.
Resale: slack roof straps, overhanging brickwork, failing shower seals.
