    New home inspections in Petrie

    Petrie is a major Moreton Bay growth suburb anchored by the new University of the Sunshine Coast campus. Strong new home construction activity across the Petrie corridor. Independent building inspections from slab to handover. With volume builders moving quickly through stages, the quality of workmanship doesn't always keep up with the pace of construction.

    VG Inspect provides independent, QBCC-licensed building inspections at every stage of construction. We work exclusively for homeowners — never builders — so you get an honest, detailed assessment of your new home before you sign off.
