Practical Completion Inspection
A Practical Completion Inspection (PCI) is one of the most important inspections in the construction process. It is done when the builder says the home is finished and ready for handover — but before the final payment is made.

Ensures the Home Is Truly “Complete”
Under Australian building contracts, practical completion means:
- All major works are finished
- The house is safe and habitable
- Only minor defects (if any) remain
The inspection checks whether the builder has actually met this stage properly.
Identifies Defects Before Final Payment
Once the final payment is made, your leverage reduces.
A PCI helps identify:
- Cracked tiles
- Poor paint finish
- Uneven flooring
- Incomplete cabinetry
- Roof defects
- Brickwork issues
- Drainage problems
This allows defects to be fixed before handover.
A PCI ensures the builder has met required standards before completion.
