Bored piers
After boring and cage placement, before concrete
Depth and diameter against the engineering, cage centred with cover, bases clean and free of water
Learn more about the bored piers inspection →Seven checkpoints across an Oran Park build, each before the next trade closes the last one in.
Oran Park is a masterplanned town rather than a scatter of small releases, but a single masterplan does not produce a single standard. Dozens of builders work here and our findings vary far more between builders than between streets. Two items recur enough to name: termite collars left out of slab penetrations, and metal straps required at the top and bottom plates that were never fitted. Both are cheap on the day and permanent afterwards.

Slab. It is the only stage where the work becomes physically unreachable, and our Oran Park set shows exactly what gets buried: collars not fitted, re-entrant reinforcement missing, cover short, beam widths inconsistent.
It means consistent planning, not consistent building. The estate controls the streetscape; your builder controls the house, and that is where the variation sits.
No standard NSW residential contract lets them refuse, and it is your property. We notify in advance and fit in around whoever is working.
