We might need to do a progress inspection of your property before or during construction, and before the final progress payment is made.
The person inspecting will arrange these inspections with your builder.

Before the final payment is made, you’ll need to give us a copy of the insurance policy or Certificate of Currency for the building.
Make sure you put us as the mortgagor of the property when taking out the insurance.
If you’re wondering why you need to give your authority multiple times, it’s because you need to authorise each stage of construction.
This means you’re only paying for work that’s been done.
We can’t pay your builder unless you give us your authority. Authorisations will need to be done before each stage of construction. This means you’ll need to do it multiple times – we’ll let you know when.
If construction is already under way and you’ve been posting us your authority using the print authority forms, feel free to continue doing this instead of using Bankmail.
If you’re just getting started, there’s a few ways you can give your authority.
Using Bankmail is a quick and easy way for you to make sure your builder is paid on time. You’ll simply be letting us know that you want us to pay your builder at each stage of construction. This means you’ll need to do this multiple times as construction progresses.
