Raymond from iSPECT Building Inspections Croydon 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.
Raymond 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) 8777 2573 to book your completion stage inspection in Croydon.

"iSPECT recently completed a Building and Defect inspection and report for me on a property I am looking to purchase. They made it very easy and the service was great.

Highly recommend iSPECT as a business."

"A huge thank you to Ispect Building Inspections and in particular our inspector Aaron Perez compiled a fantastic and comprehensive report for our recent investment property purchase in Reservoir. As we are located in Brisbane having a trusted and professional inspector with a keen eye for detail is crucial. He also was available to take my call and answer all of my questions thus allowing me to proceed with full confidence. Thanks Aaron and the Ispect team we will not hesitate to use you again for our next purchase! ?"
