PCI / New Build Inspections

Make sure your brand-new home is built to the standard you paid for.

Just because it’s new doesn’t mean it’s perfect. A Practical Completion Inspection (PCI)—also known as a handover inspection—is a crucial final step before you accept the keys to your newly built home. It ensures everything has been finished to spec, meets building standards, and is free from defects or shortcuts.

At Beagley Building, we don’t just “tick boxes”—we use our hands-on building experience to check that your builder has delivered exactly what was promised.

Why Get a PCI / Handover Inspection?

A PCI inspection helps you:

• Hold your builder accountable for incomplete, substandard, or defective work

• Ensure your home meets Australian Standards and contract specifications

• Avoid being stuck with expensive fixes once your maintenance period ends

• Protect your warranty rights by identifying issues before handover
  
  

What’s Included?

Our PCI inspections are tailored to ensure nothing gets missed at this critical stage. We check:

• Workmanship & finish quality – Painting, tiling, cabinetry, flooring, fittings

• Fixtures & fittings – Doors, windows, taps, appliances, power points

• Building compliance – As per plans, codes, and building standards

• Functionality testing – Taps, toilets, windows, locks, fans, lights

• Safety checks – Trip hazards, electrical, smoke alarms, window restrictions
