Practical completion inspections in Alphington.
Cosmetic defect inspections for Alphington townhouses, units and renovations.
Also known as a PCI or handover inspection — the last chance to have your builder fix cosmetic defects before you take the keys.
What we see in Alphington
Alphington sits on the river with a fast-changing mix of period homes, knockdown-rebuilds and compact townhouse developments. Shared walls, tight setbacks and infill builds mean finishing trades work in confined spaces — and the trim, render and tiling junctions show it.
We walk every room under raking light with a level, photograph each cosmetic defect, and cite it against the Building and Plumbing Commission Victoria Guide to Standards and Tolerances 2026 or the relevant Australian Standard. Your builder gets a numbered list they can act on rather than a page of opinions.
