Contemporary Castle Hill designs lean on box gutters and parapets, and lock-up is the stage where those details can still be corrected. Findings here have included a box gutter sump that changed direction, long box gutters without expansion joints, sarking missing behind parapet cladding, bracing cut by trades and air conditioning ducts left lying on the ceiling joists.

A box gutter sits inside the roof line, so when it overflows the water goes into the house. Joints, upturns and sumps all have to be right.
Usually a trade running pipes or cables after the frame stage. It needs repair and sign off before plaster.
Yes. Once linings are on, insulation, pipes and bracing are hidden.
Yes, from the roof where safe access exists, otherwise from scaffold or with the drone.
It is optional on a simple design. On homes with box gutters, parapets or flat roof sections it earns its place.
Usually the next morning, so it reaches the builder before plastering starts.
