Barrier, steel and set out, checked before any of it becomes permanent.
Riverstone sits on the Cumberland Plain with alluvial ground along its creek lines, and parts of it flooded in 2021. Ground that wets and dries is exactly what a slab is engineered to ride out, and that engineering lives in beam geometry, reinforcement and cover. The pre-pour inspection is the only opportunity to confirm the thing designed is the thing built. Every photograph on this page was taken at practical completion, not at this stage. They are here because each one is an item that belongs earlier in the build and survived to handover, which is the clearest argument we can make for inspecting when the work is still open.

It changes what the engineer designs for. Ground that saturates and dries moves, and the slab is stiffened to cope. That is why the reinforcement and beam sizes are worth confirming.
The surface, and nothing beneath it. Cover, steel and barrier all stop being verifiable the moment concrete is placed.
We move with it and there is no charge.
An hour to ninety minutes on a standard lot, with the report out that evening.
Yes, because moving one before the pour is trivial and moving it after is not.
