Practical completion inspections in Thornbury.
Cosmetic defect inspections for Thornbury townhouses, renovations and unit blocks.
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 Thornbury
Thornbury runs a steady stream of dual-occupancy and townhouse infill behind existing period facades. The new rear build is where the finishing work happens, often in a confined site with shared walls — exactly where plaster joins, paint cut-ins and tile grout 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.
