Frequently Asked Questions
A: During a PCI or handover inspection, we often uncover issues like uneven paintwork, faulty tiling, sticking doors or windows, plumbing defects, cracked plaster, and poor joinery. These might seem minor, but can affect your home’s finish, liveability, and long-term performance, making it essential to catch them before handover.
A: Once you’ve settled, your builder is less obligated to fix non-structural defects. A PCI inspection before handover gives you the leverage to have faults corrected under the builder’s warranty without extra cost or delay. It’s your best chance to ensure everything is up to scratch before you move in.
A: Absolutely. Even top-tier builders can miss things—it’s not always intentional, but tradespeople may rush or overlook details. A PCI inspection acts as an impartial check to hold all parties accountable and ensure you’re getting exactly what you paid for, no matter how reputable your builder is.
A: Our PCI reports are highly detailed, room-by-room, and include annotated photos for full clarity. They cover visual defects, incomplete finishes, and items not compliant with building codes. You’ll receive your report within 24 hours to give you enough time to notify your builder and request rectifications before handover.
A: Yes, it can. Identifying issues early means your builder must address them under warranty, saving you from paying for repairs down the track. It also creates a record of the property’s condition at handover, which is valuable if disputes arise later or hidden issues surface post-move-in.
