Independent checks at each Fraser Rise build stage, timed for the days before the next trade covers the work.

A Fraser Rise build moves fast once the slab is down, and the stages that matter most are the ones where something structural is about to vanish. On jobs here we have recorded roof trusses bearing on internal walls never designed to carry them, paired LVL beams with open gaps between the members, and slab edges standing so far proud of the frame that the brick cavity is squeezed shut. Each of those is a short fix with the frame open and an engineering argument once it is lined.

Frame first, then slab, then the handover. Frame is where we keep finding load paths that do not match the engineering, and it is lined within days.
Yes. Book whichever stages are still ahead of you. We note in the first report that earlier work was already covered and could not be assessed.
You own the land and the home being built, and no standard Victorian domestic building contract shuts out your own consultant. We arrange access with the supervisor and keep out of the trades' way.
We do not test or energise services, take soil or concrete samples, or certify footings and framing. Where a fix needs design, the report says an engineer should sign it off.
