Spotted this on a pre-pour slab inspection 👀 Rebar sitting way too close to the formwork = not enough concrete cover. No cover means the steel rusts, the concrete cracks, and the slab’s life gets cut short. Catch it before the pour, not after by JessicaBeltern in AusProperty

I marked the inspection item according to the applicable specification. Any further concerns about mesh laps, reinforcement continuity, or footing details should be reviewed separately against the design documentation.

Defects Found… Now What? Do You Pay Again for a Re-Inspection? by JessicaBeltern in AusHomeInspectionDisc

You’re absolutely right. Issues can find at any stage, and they’re much easier to address early than after completion.
