What We Found Wednesday 🔍
Some measurements are a little harder to overlook than others.
During a recent brickwork inspection, our team identified significant inconsistencies in the mortar joints, with measurements exceeding acceptable construction tolerances.
While uneven brickwork might initially appear to be a cosmetic concern, these tolerances exist for a reason. Consistent workmanship is important for the quality, finish and overall performance of a home.
It's a great example of why independent stage inspections matter. Identifying issues while construction is underway gives builders and homeowners the opportunity to address concerns before the project progresses further.
At House Inspect Australia and Pest Protect Australia, attention to detail is part of the job, and sometimes the smallest measurements reveal the biggest discrepancies.
