Practical completion inspections in Mernda.
Practical completion and handover inspections for Mernda new builds.
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 Mernda
Mernda estates have matured fast, so handovers here are often the last few lots in a stage — finished by whichever trades were still on the books. Consistency of finish is the thing to watch.
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.
