Completion (Handover/PCI) Inspection in Thomastown, VIC

Residential Properties • Commercial Properties • Servicing Greater Thomastown Metropolitan area

Max from iSPECT Building Inspections Thomastown 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.

Max 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 (03) 7047 9362 to book your completion stage inspection in Thomastown.

Great experience with their home inspection service. They were thorough, professional, and explained everything clearly. I was very happy with the service and even recommended them to my brother, who had a great experience as well. Highly recommend!

We?ve now used iSpect twice for building and pest inspections and honestly couldn?t recommend them enough. Both times they were fantastic to deal with from start to finish. They were really easy to organise, turned up when they said they would and did a really thorough inspection. The reports were detailed but easy to understand, which made the whole process of buying a house a lot less stressful. Buying a house is stressful enough, so having someone you can trust to properly check everything gives you such peace of mind. After using iSpect twice, they would definitely be our first choice if we ever needed another inspection. Highly recommend!
