A Handover Inspection or Practical Completion Inspection Report also referred to as a “PCI” has to be the single most important independent inspection you can have carried out when you are building a new home or investment property, in order to check the quality prior to paying the final payment.
A lot of building defects and other issues are not apparent to the untrained eye so it’s important to engage the services of an experienced and licensed building inspector to conduct a quality assurance inspection on your behalf before Handover.
Any defects not identified at this stage may not be rectified by the builder and could end up being your problem later and could potentially end up costing you a lot of money!
All Suburbs Building Inspections and Reports “ASBIR” is dedicated to delivering independent Handover Inspections Reports to new homeowners and property investors at Practical Completion that are superior in every way.
Your inspection will be carried out by a highly experienced and qualified building expert who is not only a licensed building inspector but also a licensed builder. We are here to support you throughout the whole building process by providing quality assurance inspections and professional advice which will help give you peace of mind.

Sometimes real estate agents or property managers might offer to do a PCI for a new home owner, and although they might know a lot about real estate they are most often not licensed builders or building consultants, so are not generally not qualified nor insured to carry out such building inspections services as Handovers or Practical Completion inspections.
All Suburbs Building Inspections and Reports inspectors are QBCC licensed builders and building consultants with many years of industry experience. Their extensive knowledge, experience and qualifications ensures expertise and professionalism in the every building inspection service we provide.
At All Suburbs Building Inspections and Reports we go to great lengths to ensure that every handover inspection is carried out in a thorough, accurate and professional manner and in accordance with Australian Building Codes and Standards, so that our clients receive the the highest quality inspection and most professional Handover Inspection Report possible.
Your Handover Report is a document which includes relevant photos and a summary of the inspector’s findings, namely the defects list. Defects are listed in the report under the various trades responsible for rectification. This is issued in an easy to read format which is sent to you by email by the following business day, in most cases.
The list of defects is sent to the builder for their attention and rectification. And if necessary we can also liaise with the builder on your behalf in regard to rectification of the defects or any items in dispute. If necessary your report can be used as a legal document in the unfortunate case of a building dispute.
We would also recommend having building stage inspections carried out at various stages throughout construction. The stage inspections we recommend are; frame stage, enclosed or lock-up stage, and pre-paint or fixing stage. With these building inspections along the way any problems can be picked up during the building process and rectified before the build progresses to the next stage where defects can often be very difficult to fix, or they remain hidden only to reveal unexpected and costly problems down the track.
The friendly team at All Suburbs Building Inspections and Reports are here to support you every step of the way during the building process by providing quality control inspections and professional reports, and expert advice that will help you make informed decisions and give you peace of mind.
We can confidently say that ASBIR’s handover inspections are far superior to that of other handovers companies in that we take our time and thoroughly inspect every aspect of your property, both inside and out, from top to bottom. We inspect many extra things that others don’t, such as; the external roof system, the site including fences, retaining walls, landscaping and site drainage. We scrutinize the complete interior of the home and also look inside the internal roof cavity to check that everything is in good order there. We also check the floor tiles with a special tool to detect any cracked or drummy tiles. We don’t rush through our inspections but take our time. We like to think that this is the type of service we would personally want if this were our own property being inspected.
We work with buyers, sellers, agents, property marketers, property managers and builders alike, to achieve an end product of exceptional quality and finish!
