Before moving into a newly built home, our Final Handover Inspections (also known as Practical Completion inspections) ensure that everything is constructed up to standard. We meticulously check for any unfinished work, poor workmanship, or building defects, giving you complete peace of mind as you transition into your new space. Conducted in accordance with Australian Standard AS4349.0-2010, these inspections are vital to ensure your new build meets all necessary safety and quality standards before you take possession. The inspection is personally conducted by Carlo Macri, a licensed builder with over 25 years of hands-on experience in bricklaying, tiling, concreting, and residential construction. His deep understanding of the building process allows him to easily spot the difference between professional finishes and subpar quick fixes. Our seamless process includes coordinating access with your builder if necessary. Following the site visit, you will receive a detailed digital photographic report, typically within 24 hours, documenting any areas of concern that the builder needs to rectify before final handover. We also provide expert advice and recommendations for any required remedial work.

Practical Completion (PCI) Inspections

Get Quote
A Practical Completion Inspection (PCI) is your last chance to have your new home thoroughly checked before final payment and handover. This inspection is completed once your builder declares the home practically complete and books a handover meeting. During this inspection, we systematically check finishes, fixtures, and fittings, the basic function of doors and windows, visible alignment issues, wet areas, cabinetry, and general workmanship. The focus is on items that affect liveability, durability, and appearance, rather than minor dust or cleaning. During a PCI inspection, we typically look at internal walls, ceilings, paint, and plaster quality; floor finishes, tiles, carpets, and transitions; doors, windows, latches, and hardware operation; kitchen, bathroom, and laundry cabinetry, benchtops, and tiling; wet area waterproofing signs, falls, and sealing; fixtures such as tapware, toilets, basins, showers, and appliances where installed; and external finishes, garages, paths, driveways, and basic drainage issues. Defects and incomplete items are recorded with photos, giving you a clear, written list to discuss with your supervisor before you sign off and pay the final claim. We approach PCI with a practical mindset, focusing on issues that breach standards, will deteriorate quickly, or represent poor value for a new build, while also acknowledging reasonable tolerances. This fair and thorough approach helps you have a constructive conversation with your builder and increases the chance that issues are resolved promptly.

Pre-Handover Defects

The pre-handover defects inspection is the final stage assessment designed to evaluate the overall quality and compliance of a house that the builder has deemed ready for handover. It is highly important that your builder is given the full opportunity to complete their schedule of works and execute their own internal defects list before Stewart Building Consultants carries out this Stage 4 Inspection. Allowing the builder to fulfill their obligations first is both sensible and courteous; assessing a home that is only 'nearly finished' can unnecessarily damage your working relationship with the builder. The home should be fully ready for occupation when we arrive. Conducted by Paul, a fully licensed and insured builder with over 40 years of industry experience, our inspection meticulously identifies any outstanding defects or compliance issues. Within 24 hours, you will receive an incredibly detailed, accurate, and factual report complete with photographic evidence. After receiving our report, you should consult with your builder and allow an agreed period of time to rectify any identified issues to your complete satisfaction before taking possession of your home. This thorough, independent process is becoming increasingly popular, providing homeowners with ultimate peace of mind before final payment.
