Mark carries out Pre Purchase Building Inspections, Construction Progress and Practical Completion inspections. He’s constantly shocked at the lack of supervisory knowledge, frequent BCA non compliance & even absence of basic ABC building standards that is present throughout the state. Mark frequently has to quote the BCA to the builder in his reports to remind them of the minimum standards.
