Building Inspections in Gungahlin
Gungahlin is one of Canberra's fastest-growing districts, and much of its housing is new. StraightUp Inspections gives you an independent, builder-led check at every stage — pre-purchase, construction-stage and practical completion.
A licensed builder documents the defects identified for your builder to address, with photographs and practical recommendations.
Local property context
With so many recent and ongoing builds across Amaroo, Ngunnawal, Casey, Moncrieff and Throsby, the issues we see most are new-home finish and waterproofing defects, plus construction-stage items worth catching before they are covered up.
What we commonly see in Gungahlin
- New-home finish defects at handover (PCI)
- Waterproofing and wet-area indicators in recent builds
- Construction-stage items at frame and lock-up

Common questions
Can you inspect my new Gungahlin build before handover?
Yes. A practical completion (PCI) inspection documents the defects identified, for your builder to address before you make the final payment.
Do you do staged inspections during the build?
Yes — slab, frame and lock-up construction-stage inspections, so defects are caught before they are concealed.
