π§ Failed pre-line inspection? It could be costing you more than you think.
One of the most common reasons for inspection delays in NZ construction projects is timber framing that hasn't dried sufficiently before lining. Most councils require framing moisture content to be at or below 18% before a pre-line inspection can pass.
Wet framing can lead to:
β Failed inspections
β Costly project delays
β Rebooking trades
β Extended build timelines
At Pure Services, we help builders, project managers, and homeowners get timber frames inspection-ready with professional structural drying solutions.
