Roof on, brickwork up, services in, and the last look before the linings.
The Leppington lock-up findings run to the envelope and the services together. Weep holes never formed. Ducting resting on the ceiling frame rather than suspended, which crushes the run and kills the airflow the system was designed around. Sarking and wall wrap detail. Stormwater with insufficient cover. Temporary downpipes not installed, so the roof drains onto the ground beside a fresh slab. And the termite management notice missing from the meter box where it should already be.
Annotated findings from Lock-up (pre-plaster) inspections on Leppington builds. Client addresses withheld.

They are. What defines the stage is services in and linings not, which here lasts a few days.
Every one, marked fixed, partly fixed or outstanding.
Roughly two hours on site, plus writing, and more on a bigger or two storey house.
We examine what remains open and record the areas already sealed.
