PCI Practical Completion Inspections – Handover in Botanic Ridge

Make sure your new property is handed over in top condition. Our thorough inspection uncovers minor defects, omissions, imperfections, and poor workmanship, inside and out. You’ll receive a clear, detailed report so you can address issues with the builder before moving in.

PCI PRACTICAL COMPLETION INSPECTIONS - HANDOVER

A pre handover inspection or Practical Completion Inspection (PCI) is a type of building report for the buyer of a newly constructed home and takes place prior to the buyer taking possession of their new home but after all the building work has been completed.

It’s generally the final stage in the construction of a home or unit, and an essential step in the home building process so that buyers can be certain that the work carried out on their new home has been done to the agreed upon standards and properly completed. 

As an independent party, our building inspectors work for the buyer to identify any outstanding defects and/or incomplete finishes, making sure the building will meet industry standards. A handover inspection and report highlights in detail any minor defects in quality, omissions, imperfections, as well as general building defects and poor workmanship, following a thorough inspection of all areas of the new property (internal and external).

This is an overall building inspection report where we are looking to ensure that the property is complete and ready for the new buyer to move in.

Unfortunately, we are often called upon to carry out handover building inspections only to find the property is not finished, even when constructed by reputable builders. As we do not want to waste our time  or your money, it is important that you are satisfied that the builder and all other tradesman have completely finished before ordering your Handover report.

We recently used Brett from Leading Building Inspections and couldn't be happier with the experience. He was professional, approachable and extremely thorough. Brett took his time and did not rush at all, explaining everything clearly and making sure we understood each step. He was easy to communicate with and delivered a detailed report the same day, complete with photos and practical advice. He went above and beyond by answering follow-up questions and offering honest guidance, which gave us real peace of mind. Highly recommend his services to anyone needing a reliable and knowledgeable building inspector.

Thank you so much, Brett, for your detailed and professional building inspection. Purchasing a home can be stressful enough, but the clarity and depth of your report really helped me understand the property and make confident decisions.With an older home, I expected some wear and tear, but there were a few red flags that initially felt overwhelming. Your calm explanations and second check when quoting for repairs eased my concerns completely. I also appreciated your practical advice about the minor bathroom issue — suggesting I wait until I’m ready to renovate rather than rushing unnecessary work.Your professionalism, caring manner, and attention to detail are exceptional. I’m truly grateful for your support throughout the process and highly recommend you to anyone seeking a thorough and trustworthy building inspector.

Brett did a thorough inspection on the house we are buying and found a major problem. He was quick to contact the agent who is now fixing the problem and will get Brett back to re check it. We're very happy with the outcome, Bretts report and how quick he booked us in. Report was received within a few hours too. Highly recommend.

Had Brett do a building and pest inspection - he was great and very communicative. He called me straight after the inspection to give me a rundown and brief summary and within a few hours I had the report. Lots of photos included in the report and I was overall super happy with the service
