Practical completion inspections in Doreen.
Cosmetic defect inspections at handover for Doreen homes and townhouses.
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 Doreen
Doreen builds lean family-sized, with long hallways, big wall runs and plenty of tiling. More surface area is simply more places for plaster flushing, paint coverage and grout lines to drift outside tolerance.
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.
