Stage 5 – Practical Completion Inspection (PCI) in Mitcham

A Practical Completion Inspection, or PCI, is a detailed assessment conducted at the final stage of your new build. It ensures all contracted work is complete, compliant, and meets quality standards before you take possession. The PCI identifies defects, incomplete items, or substandard finishes, giving you the opportunity to have these rectified by the builder before settlement.

A PCI is essential because it safeguards your investment. By identifying defects or unfinished work before you move in, you can ensure your builder addresses any issues at their cost, not yours. This inspection helps avoid costly repairs, disputes, or disappointments after settlement, giving you confidence that your new home is truly ready.

Our Stage 5 PCI inspection covers all aspects of your completed build, including internal and external finishes, fixtures, fittings, paintwork, cabinetry, flooring, doors, windows, and compliance with your contract. We provide a comprehensive, photographic report highlighting any concerns, so you can address them with your builder before finalising the purchase.

We understand the importance of prompt reporting at this stage. You’ll receive your detailed PCI report, complete with photos and clear descriptions, within 24 hours of the inspection. This allows you to act quickly, negotiate with your builder, and ensure all issues are resolved before settlement.

Absolutely. We’re happy to attend the PCI with you and your builder, ensuring all concerns are clearly communicated and documented. Our presence provides independent support and expertise, helping to resolve issues on the spot and ensuring your interests are protected throughout the handover process.
