Why should I have an independent inspection instead of relying on the builder’s checks?

Leave a comment

An independent inspection provides an objective assessment of the completed work and can identify issues that may otherwise be overlooked during the builder’s internal review.

Can I attend the inspection?

Leave a comment

Yes. Homeowners are welcome to attend the inspection and discuss any questions or concerns directly with the inspector.

Do I receive photographs in the report?

Leave a comment

Yes. Our reports include photographic evidence to clearly illustrate identified defects and concerns.

How long does a Practical Completion Inspection take?

Leave a comment

Inspection times vary depending on the size and complexity of the property, but most inspections take between two and four hours.

Will the inspection check for unfinished work?

Leave a comment

Yes. We assess the property for incomplete works, missing fittings, unfinished finishes, and other items that may still require attention.

What happens if defects are identified?

Leave a comment

The defects can be documented in the inspection report and raised with the builder for rectification before handover.

When should I book a Practical Completion Inspection?

Leave a comment

The inspection should be arranged once the builder advises that construction is substantially complete but before final payment and handover.

Can defects still be found in a newly built home?

Leave a comment

Yes. Even newly constructed homes can contain cosmetic defects, installation issues, and workmanship concerns that may not be immediately obvious.

Is a Practical Completion Inspection the same as a handover inspection?

Leave a comment

They are often conducted at a similar stage. A Practical Completion Inspection is typically performed before handover so issues can be identified and rectified before ownership is transferred.

What is the purpose of a Practical Completion Inspection?

Leave a comment

A Practical Completion Inspection helps identify defects, poor workmanship, and incomplete items before the builder hands over the property.
