When approaching the final stages of a new home construction, engaging in a Practical Completion Inspection (PCI) is crucial. At Southern Independent Building Inspections (SIBI), we offer comprehensive PCI inspection services designed to ensure your new property is in top condition before you take ownership. 

Our PCI inspections encompass a thorough assessment using a detailed PCI inspection checklist, ensuring every aspect of your soon-to-be home meets the highest standards of quality and compliance. Whether it’s a full PCI house assessment or specific PCI building inspection tasks, our experts are equipped to provide a meticulous review, safeguarding your investment.

What is a PCI Inspection?

A Practical Completion Inspection, or PCI, marks a critical phase in the construction process of your new home. This inspection is carried out when the construction is ostensibly complete, prior to your official handover. The main goal of a PCI inspection is to identify any areas of concern that need addressing by the builder, ensuring that your new home is structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing.

This service is vital as it allows potential issues to be identified and rectified before they can become costly or irreversible problems after you have moved in. Our detailed PCI home inspection process involves evaluating various elements of the construction, from structural integrity to cosmetic discrepancies.

PCI Inspection Checklist: What We Examine

Our comprehensive PCI inspection checklist covers a wide range of areas to ensure nothing is overlooked. During a PCI inspection, some of the key areas we assess include:

  • Structural elements including foundations, roofing, and framing
  • Internal and external finishes
  • Plumbing and electrical systems
  • Windows, doors, and insulation
  • Paint, tiles, and other surface finishes
  • Outdoor areas and landscaping

Each item is scrutinised to ensure that it not only complies with the relevant building codes but also matches the agreed specifications and plans. Our inspectors use their extensive experience and keen eye for detail to provide a report that is both detailed and easy to understand.

The Importance of a Practical Completion Checklist

Utilising a practical completion checklist during your PCI ensures that all aspects of your new home are evaluated systematically. This checklist is a powerful tool that helps both the inspector and the homeowner keep track of any issues that need to be addressed, ensuring that the builder rectifies these before the handover.

This step is essential for peace of mind and avoids the hassle of disputes or repairs once you have settled into your new home.
