Building Inspections Point Cook
Independent Building Inspectors in Point Cook
Point Cook has grown from paddocks into one of Melbourne’s biggest suburbs, with master-planned estates such as Sanctuary Lakes, Featherbrook and Saltwater Coast. Most homes are less than 25 years old, and new homes are still being built across the area.
Whether you’re building a new home or buying an established one, our independent inspectors check the work against your plans, the National Construction Code and Australian Standards. We inspect every construction stage from pre-slab to handover, and offer pre-purchase inspections on established Point Cook homes.

Do you do stage inspections in Point Cook?
Yes. We inspect new homes in Point Cook at every stage: pre-slab, frame, lock-up, fixing and practical completion (PCI). You can book individual stages or our 5-stage package from $2,000.
Why are soils important in Point Cook?
Much of Melbourne’s west sits on basalt plains with reactive clay soils that shrink and swell with moisture. Slab design, site drainage and articulation joints are important, and we check them at the relevant stages.
