If you are having your new home built, whether it be a house, townhouse or unit, it is a good idea to have a Practical Completion Building Inspection done, once the build reaches this final stage.
At this stage, the build is deemed to be complete, and the final invoice is issued by the Builder.
This inspection is ideally done prior to handover or settlement.
We can provide a very detailed report, outlining items: such as:
These items are all viewed in line with the Queensland Building and Construction Commission’s ( QBCC ) Standards and Tolerances Guide and the Building Code of Australia. The Report is usually forwarded to the Builder for action to address any issues and defects found.
A re-inspection can also be arranged, and is recommended, once the Builder advises that the identified issues found at the first Practical Completion Inspection, have been rectified. A re-inspection is to check there is nothing still outstanding.
