Why it matters here

Fixing inspections on Morayfield builds

At fixing stage in Morayfield the exterior appearance and waterproofing usually matter more than the interior fittings. We have found a rendered sill that does not extend far enough over the window, a control joint that was not cut properly, and an expansion joint that stops partway up the exterior wall. On the inside, the bathroom shower floor is not level and the vanity splashback is not fixed to the wall.

What we find at this stage in Morayfield

  • Window sill not wide enough
  • Control joint not correctly cut
  • Expansion joint not continuous
  • Shower floor not level
  • Vanity splashback not fixed

FAQ

Fixing inspections in Morayfield: common questions

Why check the window sill length?

The sill must cover the internal joinery to stop water entering the wall cavity.

What is the issue with the control joint?

The joint should allow the house to move without cracking, and an uncut joint creates stress at the opening.

Is the meter box termite label inspected at this stage?

Yes. We check the meter box for the required sticker and record it if missing.

Is the inspection done by lunchtime?

A thorough site inspection usually takes about two hours.

Can the builder still fix the control joint location?

At fixing stage the joint can be cut out and replaced where the plans show, but later it becomes a rectification item.

What should the builder do with the list?

The builder must rectify the issues before painting starts, and we recheck at the handover inspection.
