Practical completion inspections in Ivanhoe.
Practical completion and renovation handover inspections for Ivanhoe homes.
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 Ivanhoe
Ivanhoe's leafy streets carry prestige rebuilds and architect-designed extensions where the finish is the point of the spend. Where new render meets established brickwork, or stone benchtops meet custom joinery, the junctions and caulk lines are where quality quietly slips — and where we look hardest.
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.
