Practical completion inspections in Brighton.
Cosmetic defect inspections for Brighton's new builds, rebuilds and luxury 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 Brighton
Brighton rebuilds and high-spec renovations carry finishes and fittings that cost far more than the volume-builder norm. The tolerance people expect is tighter than the Guide's, and the trades are often specialists — so the defects that slip through are the subtle ones: mitre gaps, caulk lines and substrate telegraphing.
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.
