New home inspections in Thornlands
Thornlands is experiencing a significant construction boom as the Southern Thornlands Priority Development Area unlocks thousands of new home sites across the Redland City corridor.

“Building in the new Thornlands PDA and Adam picked up waterproofing issues and missing weepholes at our enclosed stage inspection. Our builder had to rectify everything before proceeding. Highly recommend.”
