Fully licensed & accredited

In short: Aintree is developing quickly, so getting a stage inspection protects you against defective work.

Council approvals

Aintree is within the City of Melton, so a registered building surveyor approves the plans.

We check the work against the approved drawings, the NCC and the Guide to Standards and Tolerances.

You need a separate AS 4349.3 report for timber pests on a new build.

We provide a report for the final inspection, which leads to the occupancy permit.

Written by our local inspection team from work carried out in Aintree. Licensed building practitioners.
