Completion (Handover/PCI) Inspection in Douglas Park, NSW
Residential Properties • Commercial Properties • Servicing Greater Douglas Park Metropolitan area
Andrew from iSPECT Building Inspections Douglas Park 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.
Andrew 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 (02) 4602 2141 to book your completion stage inspection in Douglas Park.
