Building Inspectors for New Homes in Melbourne
A newly built home should give you joy — not unexpected problems after handover. Even brand-new homes can have construction defects that impact safety, structural integrity, and long-term maintenance costs.
At Full Scope Building & Property Inspections, our new home inspection service helps protect your investment at every stage of the build. We carry out thorough, stage-by-stage inspections to identify issues early — before they become costly repairs.
Our inspections include:
- Pre-slab inspections: checking site preparation, footings, and steel reinforcement before concrete is poured.
- Frame stage inspections: assessing framing, structural components, and workmanship before walls are plastered.
- Pre-plaster inspections: inspecting insulation, services, and internal construction before plaster installation.
- Final handover inspections: ensuring finishes, workmanship, and compliance meet expected standards before settlement.
- Warranty inspections: identifying defects before your builder’s 90 day warranty period.

- External walls

- Moisture and water damage
- Timber pest and activity
- General safety and maintenance concerns
- and much more
