Lockup (Pre-Plaster) Stage Inspection in Cranbourne, VIC
Residential Properties • Commercial Properties • Servicing City of Casey
Hadi from iSPECT Building Inspections Cranbourne 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. Hadi recommends engaging an experienced building professional to complete a new home lockup stage inspection in Cranbourne before internal plastering covers the work permanently. Call (03) 5906 8180 to book your lockup inspection.

This is your last opportunity to inspect before walls are sealed. Hadi will assess:

Electrical rough-in & cable runs
Plumbing rough-in & pipe work
Insulation installation
Window & door installation
External cladding & brickwork
The 4 Stages of New Home Inspection

I had a great experience with Ispect and would highly recommend their service. The inspection process was professional, thorough, and well-organized from start to finish. The inspector was punctual, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain findings clearly, which gave us a much better understanding of the property?s condition. The report was detailed, easy to read, and delivered promptly, highlighting both major concerns and minor maintenance items. This helped us make an informed decision with confidence during our property purchase.
