    [Dixon Homes](/builders/dixon-homes) is one of Queensland's longest-running home builders — Queensland-born, family-owned, and operating for over 60 years. Their long-established subcontractor relationships across the Sunshine Coast, Moreton Bay and Brisbane North corridors, and a reputation for affordability and customer service, have made Dixon a trusted choice for buyers across SEQ growth areas.

    If you're building with [Dixon Homes](/builders/dixon-homes), an independent QBCC-licensed inspection is the calmest way to confirm your finished home matches the contract you signed.

    Why Independent Inspection Matters on Any New Home

    The Queensland construction industry is operating under sustained, well-documented pressures — extended material lead times, a tight skilled-labour pool, and subcontractor crews scheduled across many concurrent sites. These conditions affect the whole industry. Independent inspection isn't about any one builder — it's about giving every homeowner a calm, structured second look against the QBCC Standards and Tolerances and their contract before settlement.

    Wet Areas

    Wet areas are the highest-value focus on any new home PCI. We measure shower membrane heights against the 1800mm minimum, check coved floor-to-wall junctions, and pay particular attention to floor waste sealing where the membrane meets the flange. We also check bath rim junctions in homes with bathtubs.

    Frame Stage

    For frame inspections, we work through the engineer's bracing schedule, tiedown placement and roof truss lateral bracing. The Sunshine Coast is a designated wind region with specific roof fixing requirements — eave-line screw patterns and cyclone tie placement are checked carefully on coastal builds.

    Finishing and Contract Items

    Paint, tiling (including hollow-tile testing), external door and window sealing are checked against the QBCC tolerance thresholds. We also walk through your full contract schedule — landscaping, fencing, driveway sealing and selected finishes — so anything outstanding is documented before you sign the handover certificate.
