Practical completion inspections in Armadale.
Cosmetic defect inspections for Armadale's heritage restorations and high-end rebuilds.
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 Armadale
Armadale's grand Victorian and Edwardian homes are being extended and rebuilt at the premium end of the market. Where century-old plasterwork meets new partition walls, or polished concrete meets original Baltic pine, the junctions are where finishing quality quietly slips. We document it before your builder's maintenance window closes.
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.
