During the construction of every home extension a series of inspections are carried out by law to ensure that all aspects of the construction have been implemented safely and within mandatory building requirements.

Independent Building Inspectors

All inspections must be carried out by a registered independent Building Surveyor which is arranged by Duncan Thompson Extensions. Inspections are also carried out by the Building Supervisor with the home owner in attendance.

At different times throughout the construction, building inspections include:

  • Footings and foundations
  • Sub floor
  • Framework
  • Final completion

WorkSafe Inspections

To ensure all our projects comply with Occupational Health & Safety regulations, we arrange for a WorkCover specialist to inspect our sites regularly throughout the year.

Over our 30 year history Duncan Thompson Extensions has had an excellent record of workplace saftey.
