Framing/Pre-Drywall Inspection

We examine the home’s structure and rough-in systems before the walls and ceilings are closed. This includes framing, plumbing, electrical wiring, and heating and cooling components. Pre-drywall is the last chance to see what is inside the walls and correct mistakes early. Addressing errors now avoids costly fixes later and ensures the build is progressing to a safe and professional standard.

Exterior Envelope Inspection

Once siding, roofing, windows, and doors are installed, we review the home’s exterior envelope. This includes flashing, seals, and penetrations, which protect against water, drafts, and long-term damage. Idaho’s climate makes effective weatherproofing essential, and problems in these areas are among the most common and expensive to repair. By checking these details at the right time, you can ensure the home is properly sealed, durable, and protected before it moves into the final stages of construction.

Final (Pre-Closing) Inspection

Before you move in, we complete a full review of the finished home. Plumbing, electrical, and heating and cooling systems are tested, windows and doors are checked for operation, and finishes such as cabinetry, flooring, and paintwork are carefully inspected. You receive a clear punch list of items the builder should correct before closing.

11-Month Warranty Inspection

Near the end of the builder’s one-year warranty, we return to check how the home has performed since occupancy. We look for drywall cracks or foundation movement, leaks, or system faults that often appear with time. This inspection ensures issues are documented while still covered by warranty, saving you from future costs. Thermal imaging will also be used here to detect hidden moisture or insulation problems, giving you the best chance to have repairs completed before your warranty coverage ends.

Comprehensive and Practical Same-Day Reports

Our stage reports are delivered the same day, with clear photos and plain-language recommendations.

What Our Customers Say

“Rebecca, Marc and Steve were absolutely incredible throughout our experience of building our first home. They were with us all the way; from sourcing land, identifying an appropriate builder and managing the build process.
We have had a bad experience in the past with a ‘buyers advocate’ type service and were quite hesitant and cautious about engaging Ninedots at the start but Rebecca very patiently stood up to all our rigorous questioning and delivered exactly what she said she would.

Not only is Ninedots a professional, responsive and customer focused service that achieves great results, each and every member was a pleasure to work with. We have zero reservations about referring our friends to Ninedots, we know they won’t be disappointed. Thank you so much team for your tireless efforts and continual support, we hope we can work together again when we next choose to build.”

Mariana and Freya R

“Discovering the services offered by Ninedots truly saved us so much time! We were going around in circles from one display village to the next simply confusing ourselves. Rebecca took the time to listen to our needs, summarised the best options available and provided guidance on potential hurdles we otherwise would have missed.”

Ben S

“We were guided through our best options in an easy to understand manner, we were financially well structured, and supported throughout the entire build. Rebecca was always on hand to answer our questions and clarify the unknown. We enjoyed the process and ended up with a home even better than we imagined.”

Li B

“I happened to come across Ninedots through my conveyancer and what a blessing it has been. I didn’t know such a service existed and I am so glad it does. I was already feeling quite overwhelmed going on this build journey alone, but with the team at Ninedots I have certainly felt supported. From the initial meeting with Marc, the team took time to understand my needs, wants and wishes in designing the best floor plan to suit my budget. Rebecca kept me in my budget. While Brad & Steve looked after the build. I have been very satisfied with the quality of the build. I appreciated and eagerly looked forward to the fortnightly updates with pictures and details on what work had been completed and what works where scheduled next. I was kept in the loop with any delays or changes to works being done. Any questions or concerns I had via email or phone call where promptly responded to by their amazing Admin support Shannen. What a gem! If you want a stress free build, I would highly recommend Ninedots. The whole Geelong team is fantastic. Thank You Shannon, Brad, Marc, Steve and Rebecca.”

“Over the past 2 years I’ve purchased three investment properties through Ninedots. Ninedots have great market knowledge and have supported me with all aspects of my portfolio”

Jordan E

“Our mortgage broker introduced us to Ninedots to offer an investment comparison. Rebecca was able to save us $11,000 on our previous quote with added inclusions. We were supported the whole way through and now have happy tenants with a 2 year lease.”

“Steve, Shannen & team were an immense support to us throughout our build. Always replied promptly and Steve conducted very thorough inspections and guided us whenever needed. I can’t recommend ninedots and team enough!”

Lana B

“The Ninedots team have gone and continue to go above and beyond for us. We cannot recommend them highly enough. For peace of mind, definitely choose them.”

Rose V

“A Great Service, so supportive throughout the whole building process. Thank you to both Rebecca and Steve for making the process easy and smooth.”

Ange L

“Wow what an amazing experience!!! My partner and I had NINEDOTS assist us with our first home build and thank goodness we did. They were absolute life savers, saving us time and money as well as making the process completely stress free.
Rebecca was amazing working on all the admin and things behind the scenes whilst Steve was very hands on and very observant on our build.
Our whole build was an absolute breeze and we didn’t come across any problems (that we know of) Steve most probably fixed them before they became a problem! I cannot wait to build my next home, I will 100% go though NINEDOTS again. We can’t recommend them enough especially for first home builders as we found that we were very venerable and got taken advantage of in very early stages from volume builders.”
Stephanie C

“We had great service from the whole team at Ninedots during our build. Always ready to do checks when we were notified stage was completed. Steve did a great job checking our build and we are super happy with it.”
