Lock-up/Pre-Plaster Stage Inspection
1300 000 442 
At the lock up or pre plaster stage, your home is beginning to take shape. Doors, windows, roofing and external walls are in place, and internal services have been roughed in. Before plasterboard goes up, it’s the last opportunity to visually check that key elements are correctly installed and appear compliant. Our Lock-Up/Pre-Plaster Stage Inspections in Melbourne give you confidence that no costly mistakes are hidden behind walls.
Why Lock-Up/Pre-Plaster Inspections Matters
Catching issues at this stage can save thousands later. Common problems include incorrect framing adjustments, poorly fitted windows or doors, and defects in electrical, plumbing, or pre-waterproofing work. Once plaster is installed, fixing these problems can be disruptive and costly.
- External cladding, windows, and doors checked for correct installation and sealing
- Roofing, gutters, and flashings inspected for proper fit and finish
- Internal framing, straightness, and bracing visually assessed
- Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC rough-ins checked for correct installation
- Pre-waterproofing inspections in wet areas
- Visual evidence of moisture, leaks, or poor workmanship
