A licensed builder documents what needs attention, with photographs and practical recommendations.

With suburbs like Wright, Coombs, Denman Prospect and Whitlam still filling out, most of our Molonglo work is on recent builds — new-home finish defects and construction-stage items worth catching early.

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