Practical completion inspections in Geelong
A focused PCI inspection in Geelong to review visible completed work and give new home owners clear information before handover.
About the service
Review the completed home before handover.
A practical completion inspection, often called a PCI, is carried out when a new home is substantially complete and before handover. It provides an opportunity to look closely at accessible finished work and record visible defects or incomplete items for discussion with the builder.
The inspection is best arranged around the builder's practical completion timing, when the home is ready to be reviewed and access is available. Sending the site address and expected completion date early helps with scheduling.
A PCI is one point in the construction process. Earlier work is more appropriately considered through building stage inspections while it remains visible, or through the complete new construction inspection package.

What is a practical completion inspection?+
It is an inspection of a substantially completed new home before handover, focused on visible completed work and items that may require further attention.
When should I book a PCI inspection?+
Arrange it around the builder's practical completion date and before handover. Contact Scott early with the site address and expected timing to discuss availability.
Is a PCI the same as a full set of stage inspections?+
No. A PCI focuses on the home near completion. Stage inspections occur earlier in the build when work that will later be covered can still be viewed.
How can I use the findings?+
The findings can help you prepare questions and identify visible items to discuss with the builder before the handover process is completed.
