I ended up using New Home Inspections. No great complaints, no great praise either.
This isnt't to imply NHI was one of these:
When asking around, I found they are largely…

Is my builder obliged to provide me with plans showing where electrical and plumbling assets are once the building is completed?

Hi everyone,
My build is approaching handover, and I've started to look into the landscaping. I have gotten crazy expensive quotes from landscapers, but I've also seem other people go for…

Who did you end up going with?

It may not be rocket science, but it's also not easy to figure out. You may know you want decent speed and coverage, but not know how to get there…

My current deco has died on me, and my new house is not ready yet, so I find myself in this weird place where I don't yet have a network…

Hi,
I'm after recommendations for companies that 'design' and install security systems and cameras.
Has anyone had a great experience with a particular company?

I know the Decos can be configured to be WAP, but I must confess I don't know what the difference is between setting them up as WAPs vs as a…

I'll take on boad the extra point for wifi access, thank you.
The plans currently show the builder is planning on putting the NBN in a random bit of storage…

I'm with you now. The decos do appear to have the back-haul function. I'm going to ask the builder a few more questions and, based on your solid advice, I'll…

For me and all future basics reading this in the future, what is a network wifi point?
I take it your reference about the mesh is suggesting my idea with…

Network design is beyond me. How does someone like me get an accurate idea of what I want and where?

If you don't mind me asking, what speed drop do you have if you connect as far as possible to your wifi vs if you connect to the ethernet cable?

I read they did have an inspector, just maybe not a great one.
If you don't mind me asking, given no one has an inspector sitting on site 24/7 and…

I read on a forum for another for people building with a builder I considered at one stage, about this person who was charged for rock removal from their site,…

I've been reviewing my electrical plan ever since my current internet has been horrible, and I'm worried we'll have dial-up speeds in the new house.
We currently have the connection…

How did you determine what is and isn't suitable for NCAT actions? I'd rather pick, from the start, the one whose reports will stand up if we get into a…

I'm looking for recommendations from people who have used building inspectors for their build in Melbourne.

Builder's reputations maybe meant something to them back in the day. As long as they are the cheapest, or next cheapest builder in a new estate, that's what will get…

I guess there is a reason builders are distrusted and disliked across cultures and languages.
There is, then, really, no point in the defect list; the builder has no incentive…

Hi,
I am reviewing my contract with the builder. I would like your thoughts on this:
How does this scenario play out?
Builder says all work is done.
Owner inspects, and disagrees. Variety of…

How are you going with Darbecca as your inspector? they have TA as one of the builders they seem to have concerns about:

Hey Matt,
I came across your video while researching about waffle slabs. We will be knocking down and rebuilding, have a 2m drop (higher at the front) over 46m or so.…
