PlanCheck
Consumers and builders often assume that their drawings and specification are complete and accurate. This may not be the case, even when dealing with architects and experienced draftspeople. The drawings look great, but are they right? Remember the builder will only build what he is told to by your documents.
Detecting problems on the drawings before any work commences can save money, time and the nightmare of a dispute between you and the builder.
For example, the head height above the stairs to the basement or attic may not work.
- Has basement waterproofing been included?
- Is an exhaust fan shown for an internal bathroom.
- Is the right paint specified?
- Have you unnecessarily increased the risk of a future termite infestation.
- How much is the builder entitled to charge for unexpected problems, such as rock excavation?
- A careful PlanCheck will minimise any problems.
" Your PlanCheck told us so many things we had overlooked
or forgotten to include - and we stopped lead tiles with waterproofing
& termite protection "
