FAQ

Fixing inspections in Donnybrook: common questions

What is a window opening restriction?

A device limiting how far an upper floor window opens, so a child cannot fall through. 125mm is the maximum opening it must allow.

Is it worth a separate visit?

If budget allows. Items caught before paint are cheap; after paint they need cutting back and recoating.

Which standard applies?

The Guide to Standards and Tolerances 2015 for alignment, gaps and finish, with the NCC for the safety items.

Do you look at the kitchen?

Yes, joinery alignment, door gaps and hardware worked by hand.

What is not included?

No appliance testing, no energising of circuits and no commissioning of any system.

How long are you on site?

Roughly two hours for a typical Donnybrook home.
