The visual inspection should identify any issues. In the event that an issue is identified, the home owner is required to photograph and email within 14 days to info@alpinestone.co.nz there findings. If a surface crack is identified and deemed to be less than .5mm, than this is deemed to be an acceptable occurrence.
