Practical completion inspections in South Yarra.
Handover and pre-settlement inspections for South Yarra apartments and luxury 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 South Yarra
South Yarra runs from designer apartment towers off Chapel Street to multi-million-dollar renovations behind heritage facades. Both hand over fast. Off-the-plan settlements give you one short walkthrough; a same-day, clause-cited defect list is what makes that window usable.
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.
