FAQ

Pre-Handover (PCI) Inspections in Box Hill: common questions

How long before handover should I book?

Two to three weeks. That leaves the builder time to rectify and you time to check the rectifications, instead of arriving at settlement holding an open list.

Why does a box gutter discharging into a box gutter matter?

Because the second gutter was never sized to take the first one's flow. In a heavy storm it backs up, and a box gutter that backs up puts water inside the roof rather than outside the building. It is a design and installation fault, not a maintenance item.

Which items fall outside a handover inspection?

Electrical work is neither energised nor tested, plumbing is not pressure tested, appliances and motors stay off, and nothing gets opened up. Those limits are what keep the report defensible on everything it does cover.
