What Is a Practical Completion Inspection?
A practical completion inspection (PCI), often called a handover inspection, is the final assessment of your property before you take ownership. It’s your opportunity to identify defects, incomplete work, or poor finishes before it becomes your responsibility.
We act as your independent eyes, making sure nothing gets overlooked. Further, our service is affordable – with pricing starting from $600 + GST for single-level apartments and going reasonably higher for larger or more complex dwellings.

Why This Inspection Matters
Skipping or rushing this stage can lead to frustration, unexpected repair costs, and disputes. Our inspections help you:
- Spot defects before final payment
- Ensure work matches your contract and specifications
- Avoid future maintenance surprises
- Gain leverage for builder rectifications
- Move in with complete confidence

What We Check During a PCI
We leave no corner unchecked. Our detailed inspection covers:
- Interior finishes (walls, ceilings, paintwork)
- Doors, windows, locks, and fittings
- Flooring, tiles, and cabinetry
- Plumbing fixtures and water flow
- Electrical fittings and safety checks
- External structures, roofing, and drainage
- Compliance with building standards
Every detail is documented to ensure clarity and accountability.

Detailed Reports That Ensure Results
