Most owners cannot justify all five. Here is the order to buy them in, and the reasoning behind it. - [Is cracking normal in a new Tarneit home, or is it a defect?](https://tarneitbuildinginspections.com.au/blog/is-cracking-normal-in-a-new-tarneit-home) — "That is just settlement" is sometimes true and sometimes an answer that ends a conversation the builder does not want to have. The standard settles it. - [How to read a new-build defect report and get your builder to act on it](https://tarneitbuildinginspections.com.au/blog/reading-a-new-build-defect-report-tarneit) — The report is evidence, not a result. What happens next depends on how you use it, and most owners use it badly on the first attempt. ## Common questions ### How much does a building inspection cost in Tarneit? From $400 for a standard single-storey home. The final price depends on size, storeys, age and access. Stage inspections on a new build are quoted per stage, and booking multiple stages together reduces the per-stage price. ### How quickly can you inspect a property in Tarneit? Most Tarneit inspections are booked within one to three business days. Tell us your auction or settlement date when you request a quote and we will work to it. ### Can I get an independent inspector onto my building site? Yes. Victorian law entitles you to have your own consultant inspect work you are paying for, and most builders working in Wyndham accommodate this as a matter of routine. We contact the site supervisor and arrange a time that suits the program. ### Which stage inspection matters most on a new Tarneit build? Frame, closely followed by slab. Those two cover the structural work that is permanently concealed afterwards. If you inspect only once, inspect at frame. ### Is cracking in a new Tarneit home normal? Some early movement is expected, especially on reactive clay. The Guide to Standards and Tolerances sets measurable limits by crack width and category, and the assessment turns on width, location, pattern and site drainage rather than on the age of the house. ### Do you inspect apartments and townhouses? Yes. Townhouses are common through the newer Tarneit estates and are inspected on the same basis as a detached house, with the added attention that shared walls, common drainage and boundary structures require. ### What is included in the report? A photographed, numbered defect schedule with each item classified, an assessment against the relevant standard, recommended action, and a plain-English summary at the front for anyone who is not going to read all of it. ### Do you cover the suburbs around Tarneit? Yes. We inspect across Truganina, Werribee, Hoppers Crossing, Point Cook, Manor Lakes, Wyndham Vale, Williams Landing and the rest of the Wyndham corridor. ## Pages - [Home](https://tarneitbuildinginspections.com.au/) - [Services](https://tarneitbuildinginspections.com.au/services) - [Pricing](https://tarneitbuildinginspections.com.au/pricing) - [Areas covered](https://tarneitbuildinginspections.com.au/areas) - [FAQs](https://tarneitbuildinginspections.com.au/faqs) - [About](https://tarneitbuildinginspections.com.au/about) - [Guides](https://tarneitbuildinginspections.com.au/blog) - [Contact](https://tarneitbuildinginspections.com.au/contact)
