Request a Pre Handover Inspection in Brisbane
At ASBIR, we believe informed decisions are the best decisions, especially when it comes to something as crucial as buying a new home or commercial property. Before you complete that final payment and prepare to move in, make sure you know exactly what you’re buying into by requesting a pre handover inspection.
What is a Pre Handover Inspection?
A pre handover inspection report is the most important inspection report you’ll need when purchasing a newly built property. Also known as a Practical Completion Inspection (PCI) Report, a handover inspection report details the condition of a property, evaluating the quality of its construction as well as identifying any issues in its structure, design and materials.
As a final opportunity to evaluate your new property and report defects to your builder for rectification, it’s important to get a knowledgeable team in to quickly identify any flaws.
Our reports will assess all aspects of your building’s construction, including:
- All internal and external structures
- The quality of the building materials
- Roofing, gutter system, fencing
- Floors, tiles, and ceiling construction
We provide you with professional and practical advice to ensure your new property is something to celebrate.
