A lock-up stage inspection covers all external elements of your property once doors, windows, and roofing are installed. We assess brickwork, framework, roofing, and waterproofing to identify defects or incomplete work before the next construction phase begins.
This inspection helps catch construction issues that could be concealed once internal lining is installed. Detecting problems early means they can be rectified before progressing, saving you time, money, and stress in the long run.
Book your inspection as soon as external doors, windows, and roofing are in place, but before internal linings or finishes are started. This ensures our inspectors have full access to assess structural and weatherproofing components.
Absolutely! We encourage clients to attend. This gives you the opportunity to see any issues firsthand, ask questions, and gain a deeper understanding of your property’s construction quality and compliance.
