Lockup (Pre-Plaster) Stage Inspection in Sunbury, VIC
Residential Properties • Commercial Properties • Servicing Hume City
Tarun from iSPECT Building Inspections Sunbury advises that the lockup stage (often referred to as the pre-plaster stage) is the point in time when building a new house where you can "lock up" the property — typically when all windows and exterior doors have been installed.
The lockup stage is a major milestone. Once external doors and windows are in, it allows for internal appliances and fixtures (light fixtures, taps, etc.) to be installed. Tarun recommends engaging a registered builder and experienced building inspector to complete a new home lockup stage inspection in Sunbury before internal plastering covers the work permanently. Call (03) 8000 3109 to book your lockup inspection.
