The report was emailed to me late last night, but I didn't see it until today.
CG were keen to see it so I sent them a copy once I had read it.
As others have sais, the NHI report is very clear, detailed and references the specific Australian Standard Building codes.
The inspector found quite a few shortcomings, many but not all, introduced since the last inspection. Types of things found related largely to changes that plumbers and others had introduced that would have had long term impacts to the house, such as possibly creaking floors due to cut timber supports allowing too much movement between struts, lack of noggins in some of the woodwork, that would have resulted in difficulty getting the plaster up (and to have it stay without issue), and a number of technical matters.
Pretty impressive report, and CG naturally offered to jump right on it, rescheduled the work for next week, so as to address the raised issues. CG have always told me that they value additional private inspections, they do multiple levels of inspection themselves, but they value "a fresh set of eyes", and seem to truly want to deliver a product of the highest order. I really cant imagine there are too many builders where the site supervisor is allowed to just make this call, and action it.
I am blown away, of all the normal worries of a small family, I am delighted to report that the house build itself seems to be the least, which is not what I expected when I started this journey.
