Pre-slab, frame, lock-up and completion (PCI) inspections for your new build or major renovation.
Building a new home involves several critical checkpoints where defects are easiest — and cheapest — to fix. Our stage inspectors attend your site at each key milestone so problems are caught before they're covered up.
Defects found at frame stage are far cheaper to fix than after lining.
We report to you, not your builder or developer.

Get Instant QuoteThe final weeks of a new build can be exciting, but they are also when small defects may be overlooked. An independent handover inspection gives homeowners a clearer picture of the property before responsibility shifts from the builder. It can identify issues with workmanship, missing items, finishing issues, and glaring defects that may need to be corrected before settlement or occupancy.
A well-timed pre handover inspection helps buyers approach the final walkthrough with practical information rather than relying only on appearance. From doors and windows to internal finishes and accessible construction details, the process creates a structured record of items that deserve closer review before the home is accepted.
Construction concerns are easier to discuss when documented before the property is formally handed over. A professional handover inspection can highlight issues that may not stand out during a casual walkthrough and give owners an organised basis for communicating with their builder.
For homeowners nearing practical completion, a pre handover inspection focuses on workmanship, installation and finishing details that may require correction. The purpose is to give the owner a clearer understanding of the home’s condition while there is still an opportunity to raise outstanding items.
Typical areas considered can include:
Receiving the keys should come with confidence in the condition of the home. By arranging a handover inspection, owners gain an independent perspective before accepting completed work. Clear observations, supporting photographs and an organised report can make it easier to understand what has been found and which items may need follow-up.
A pre handover inspection can support more productive conversations with the builder by replacing general concerns with documented observations. This gives homeowners a practical reference during the final construction stage and reduces the chance of visible issues being missed before moving in.
