    “Adam inspected our Springfield Lakes home at lock-up and handover. Found waterproofing defects in both bathrooms at lock-up — would've been a nightmare to fix after the tiling was done. Saved us thousands.”

    Frequently asked questions

    Do you cover Springfield Central and surrounding suburbs?

    Yes — VG Inspect covers all Springfield precincts including Springfield Lakes, Springfield Central, Brookwater, and extends across the greater Ipswich growth corridor including Ripley and Redbank Plains.

    What's the most important stage inspection to book?

    If you can only book one stage inspection, make it lock-up / pre-sheet. This is your last chance to assess waterproofing membranes, insulation, rough-in plumbing and electrical — all of which are concealed once the plasterboard goes up.

    How long does a building inspection take in Springfield Lakes?

    A PCI / handover inspection typically takes 2–3 hours for a standard new home. Stage inspections may be shorter depending on the stage. Your report arrives within 24 hours regardless.
