Handover/Practical Completion Inspection

$400+ GST
If you’re approaching the completion of your new house or business premises, you’ll need to organise a handover inspection. A pre-handover inspection or Practical Completion Inspection (PCI) is the best step you can take as a property owner towards protecting your interests. Ensure your property is completed as agreed and to the highest standards with a quality handover inspection in Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast from A1 Building and Pest Consultancy. A handover inspection or PCI is a thorough inspection of your property carried out once it is completed, but before you take final ownership. The detailed report generated by handover inspection reports is designed to alert property owners to any concerns due to poor workmanship or contractual breaches before final payment is made. These building inspections focus on the completeness of the build, the quality of the work, whether there are any building defects. They will also check that all finishes, inclusions, colours etc are as agreed on in the original builder contract. By arranging a handover inspection report, an owner can address these issues in advance of taking ownership. This ensures they are dealt with promptly and without the conflict that can occur if raised at a later date after handover has occurred. It also gives owners peace of mind that their property meets all required Australian standards for safety and complies with the Queensland building codes.

A Practical Completion Inspection (PCI), or handover inspection, is the final and most critical step before taking possession of your newly constructed home. This comprehensive evaluation examines the structural integrity and workmanship of the new build to ensure everything aligns with the building contract and strict Australian standards. Our inspectors follow an exhaustive checklist covering all areas of the property, both inside and out. We meticulously inspect hallways, living areas, kitchens, laundries, bathrooms, bedrooms, external facades, roofs, and sub-floor areas. We check structural elements, finishes, cabinetry, wardrobes, sealants, brickwork, fascia, gutters, downpipes, and fixtures like benchtops, sinks, and appliances to identify any major defects, unfinished work, or substandard craftsmanship. The primary purpose of a pre-handover inspection is to identify these defects or items that do not meet Australian standards before the building can be deemed practically complete and suitable for occupancy. By catching these issues early—typically a week before the expected handover—we allow the builder sufficient time to rectify them before the final payment is made and the keys are handed over. This thorough independent assessment provides new homeowners in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast with the ultimate peace of mind that their new property is safe, finished to the agreed standards, and ready for move-in day.

Our Pre-Handover Inspection provides independent quality control once your new build is complete, ensuring all defects are fixed and your builder meets QBCC warranty standards. Even brand-new builds can have hidden problems, which is why our licensed Brisbane property inspectors follow a strict checklist to highlight issues early. We thoroughly check the site and external areas for drainage and cracking, the roof exterior for faulty flashings, the subfloor for water leaks, the interior for signs of moisture, the roof space for framing and leaks, and safety hazards. Common defects we flag include roof flashing failures leading to leaks, subfloor moisture, non-compliant balustrades posing fall risks, and bathroom membrane failures causing hidden water damage. By catching these defects early, we help you save on costly repairs and gain the leverage to push builders to comply with warranty obligations. A standard inspection usually takes 1–2 hours, and we use advanced tools like thermal imaging and moisture sensors to confirm findings without invasive testing. We grade all issues as monitor, repair, or specialist action. You will receive a guaranteed same-day PDF report delivered within business hours. Written in plain English with clear photos, the report allows new-build owners to confidently escalate defects with their builder.
