Book a Building Inspection
Watershed clients can request a mandatory building inspection by completing the form below or calling our office to book a building permit inspection.
WHEN TO BOOK A BUILDING INSPECTION?
Our team requires at least 24 hours for prior to pour inspections and 48 hours for frame and final inspections
All bookings must be made before 3 pm if booking for the following day.
WHO CAN BOOK A BUILDING INSPECTION?
In most cases, the builder nominated on the building permit will manage the building inspection bookings. Depending on which inspection booking is required, the request may come from a subcontractor e.g. concreter.
If you are an Owner Builder, it will be your responsibility to book your building inspections. If you are unsure what inspection to book, your building permit will list which inspections are required. The Victorian Building Authority provides helpful information on Mandatory Inspection Stages.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU REQUEST TO BOOK A BUILDING INSPECTION?
Our inspection bookings team will review your building inspection request and schedule the building inspection. If we can not make the inspection booking on the requested time and/or day, our team will be in contact to offer the next available alternative for a building inspection.
A text message confirmation with your allocated Building Inspector’s name and mobile number will be sent to the site contact the afternoon before the scheduled building inspection.
HOW TO CANCEL OR RESCHEDULE AN INSPECTION
If your construction project is delayed and you need to cancel or reschedule your building inspection, please contact our office immediately. For same-day building inspection cancellation, your building inspection fee may still be charged, depending on the circumstances.
