Buying or constructing a home is one of the biggest financial investments Australians make in their lifetime. Whether it's a brand-new build or a property renovation, ensuring quality workmanship and compliance with building codes is absolutely essential. This is where Master Building Inspectors step in—offering professional inspection services that safeguard your investment.

In particular, our Practical Completion Perth and expert private building inspector services are highly sought-after by property owners and developers who want peace of mind and accountability at every construction milestone.

What Is a Practical Completion Inspection?

Practical completion is the stage in construction when the builder declares that the home is ready for handover—minus minor defects or incomplete tasks. It marks the transition from a construction site to a livable home. In Perth, this stage is also referred to as “PCI” or “handover inspection”.

At this stage, the builder will ask you to inspect the property and identify any remaining issues. But unless you're a construction expert, spotting these defects can be tricky. That’s why hiring a private building inspector during this phase is critical.

Why You Need a Practical Completion Inspection in Perth

A Practical Completion Inspection offers you the chance to:

• Identify defective or incomplete work

• Ensure contractual obligations are met

• Detect non-compliance with Australian Building Codes

• Prevent future maintenance and safety issues

• Protect your investment before making final payments

Perth homeowners rely on Master Building Inspectors for thorough and unbiased reports that allow them to address issues with the builder before handover is completed.

What Our Practical Completion Perth Inspection Includes

At Master Building Inspectors, our PCI service is detailed, systematic, and aligned with Australian Standards (AS 4349.1-2007). Here's what we inspect:

Structural Integrity

We check for visible signs of structural faults like uneven floors, sagging ceilings, or misaligned frames.

Interior Finishes

From cracked walls to poor plastering, we make sure every surface is finished to perfection.

Fixtures and Fittings

Are your taps working? Is the lighting installed? We test all plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems.

Doors and Windows

We inspect all openings for smooth operation, proper seals, and alignment.

Roofing and Guttering

Ensure proper installation and absence of leaks, corrosion, or blocked gutters.

Waterproofing and Wet Areas

Check for moisture problems or poorly sealed bathrooms, laundries, and kitchens.

Why Choose a Private Building Inspector Over Builder’s Supervisors?

Builders may offer their own supervisors to conduct inspections, but there's a conflict of interest—they work for the builder, not you.

Hiring an independent private building inspector from Master Building Inspectors ensures:

• 100% impartial and unbiased reports

• Industry-experienced inspectors with trade knowledge

• Detailed defect listing with photographic evidence

• Advice on how to get the builder to rectify issues

• Protection under consumer law (Home Building Contracts Act WA)

Your home deserves independent oversight from a professional who puts your interests first.
