Why a Practical Completion Inspection is Essential

A practical completion inspection is critical and focuses on the completed project, it is the homeowners final opportunity to ensure the builder has met all there statutory obligations. It is ultimately a comprehensive review by a professional expert the builder has followed the necessary building codes and standards. It also ensures the builder has delivered on what is agreed in the contract and is consistent with the approved plans.

Procedure

Following the inspection of surface work in the readily accessible areas of the property we refer the builder to the builder’s own contract with our client which calls for the builder to act on ALL KNOWN DEFECTS.
All items in the report are therefore brought to the builder’s attention and are therefore known to the builder. We then suggest that the builder rework the dwelling so that it complies with the minimums set out in the NCC, the Australian Standard and all other relevant requirements. If the builder feels that we are in error, we request that they justify with a counter reference that would support that position and show cause why they do not have to rectify the defects found
