Completion (Handover/PCI) Inspection in Caroline Springs, VIC

Residential Properties • Commercial Properties • Servicing City of Melton

David from iSPECT Building Inspections Caroline Springs advises that the Practical Completion Inspection (PCI) is a critical inspection. As the name suggests, this inspection provides the new homeowner the opportunity to identify any faults and request that they be fixed prior to handover.

David recommends that prior to your PCI meeting with the builder, you engage iSPECT to inspect the property and complete a comprehensive defect report. This ensures all non-compliances and faults are identified and can be raised with the builder at the handover meeting. Call (03) 7303 7111 to book your completion stage inspection in Caroline Springs.
