Practical completion inspections in Mickleham.
Cosmetic defect inspections at practical completion for Mickleham's new estates.
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 Mickleham
Most Mickleham homes are first handovers on brand-new streets. Owners get one walkthrough, often with the site supervisor standing beside them, and rarely know which finishes are actually 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.
