At Mal Wright Pest & Building Inspections, we understand the significance of a seamless handover process when it comes to your property. Whether you’re a homeowner or a property investor, ensuring that your newly constructed or renovated property meets the highest standards of quality and safety is paramount. That’s where our PCI/Building Handover Inspections come in.
A PCI, or Practical Completion Inspection, also commonly known as a Building Handover Inspection, is a thorough assessment conducted by qualified building inspectors to evaluate the overall condition and compliance of a property before the final handover from the builder to the owner. This inspection aims to identify any defects, incomplete works, or deviations from the approved plans and specifications.
A PCI/building handover inspection is essential to ensure the property meets necessary building standards. It ensures that the property has been constructed according to the relevant building codes, regulations, and standards. It provides peace of mind to the homeowner, knowing that their investment has been built to a high-quality standard. Additionally, identifying any defects or issues early on allows for timely rectification by the builder before the final handover, minimising potential disputes and costly repairs post-construction.
During a PCI/building handover inspection, our experienced inspectors meticulously examine all aspects of the property, both internally and externally. This includes but is not limited to:

Our team is committed to providing ongoing support and guidance throughout this process, ensuring a smooth and successful handover experience for all parties involved.
