Townhouse pre-purchase inspection, Marsden Park NSW — August 2026
One of our recent pre-purchase inspections in Marsden Park is a good example of why a “tidy” home still needs a proper look underneath the surface. The property presented well from the street, but a full AS 4349.1 inspection told a more complete story.
Recent Sydney Field Inspections
Waterproofing stage inspection, Marsden Park NSW — September 2026
Waterproofing must be independently verified before tiling commences. Once tiles are laid, any membrane defect becomes impossible to observe and extremely costly to remediate — tiles must be demolished to reach the membrane below.
Single-storey residential pre-purchase inspection, Catherine Field NSW — August 2026
Catherine Field in Sydney’s South-West has experienced rapid residential growth. In this pre-purchase inspection, our client wanted clarity on roof integrity, external alfresco condition, and internal tile bonding before finalizing their offer.
Two-storey brick residence pre-purchase inspection, Marsden Park NSW — August 2026
Inspecting a modern double-storey home requires examining the critical junctions between roof pitch elevations, stormwater diversion, and perimeter weep holes that are easily compromised by later landscaping.
Structural framing inspection, Burcham St Marsden Park NSW — August 2026
A double-storey timber-framed dwelling in Marsden Park was inspected at frame stage prior to insulation and internal lining. Our inspector identified four structural non-compliances against AS 1684 and the National Construction Code — all requiring builder rectification before the frame stage progress payment could be released.
Pre-cladding & moisture wrap inspection, Leppington NSW — August 2026
Before external brickwork or lightweight cladding is installed, the building's pliable weather barrier (wall wrap) and damp-proof courses (DPC) must form an uninterrupted barrier against rain penetration.
Frame stage progress inspection, Leppington NSW — July 2026
During this staged construction inspection in Leppington, our inspector assessed structural wall framing, load-bearing posts, tie-downs, and roof truss alignments before the builder proceeded to plasterboard lining.
