Request a site inspection

Site inspection requirements

Once you have your building warrant, you can start work. But there are still things you need to do while the work is happening.

Keep your documents safe

You must keep a copy of your building warrant on site. Your builder or contractor should be able to see it at any time. Keep any approved plans and drawings with the warrant.

Tell us when work starts

Before you begin work, log in to the eBuilding Standards portal and submit a “start of work” notice.

Request a site inspection

We may need to inspect the work at different stages. We will tell you which stages need to be checked.

You can book inspections through the eBuilding Standards portal or contact us directly.
