Practical completion inspections in Balwyn.
Designer defect inspections for Balwyn and Deepdene homes and 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 Balwyn
Balwyn and Deepdene carry some of Melbourne's most expensive residential construction — knockdown-rebuilds on generous blocks with stone, timber and custom joinery throughout. More premium surface area is simply more places for plaster flushing, paint coverage and grout lines to drift outside tolerance. We inspect every room, in detail.
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.
