0 checkpoints across 0 areas on a standard Catherine Field defect investigation report. We need the property accessible and, on a new build, the supervisor aware an independent inspector is attending. Whatever is blocked on the day is recorded as inaccessible, never as checked.
Measurable items from Leppington and Austral, each with a written requirement behind it.
