Lockup (Pre-Plaster) Stage Inspection in Boronia, VIC
Residential Properties • Commercial Properties • Servicing City of Knox
Aaron from iSPECT Building Inspections Boronia advises that the lockup stage (often referred to as the pre-plaster stage) is the point in time when building a new house where you can "lock up" the property — typically when all windows and exterior doors have been installed.
The lockup stage is a major milestone. Once external doors and windows are in, it allows for internal appliances and fixtures (light fixtures, taps, etc.) to be installed. Aaron recommends engaging an experienced building professional to complete a new home lockup stage inspection in Boronia before internal plastering covers the work permanently. Call (03) 8204 6123 to book your lockup inspection.
