    A practical completion inspection is conducted when your building project is nearly complete and ready for handover. Inspect365’s Melbourne service identifies visible defects, incomplete work, and areas needing attention, providing a professional report to help you make informed decisions and ensure the builder addresses any outstanding issues.

    Why Practical Completion Inspections Matter

    A practical completion inspection ensures that the property is genuinely ready for occupation and can prevent costly follow-up issues. Typical matters our inspectors check include:

    • Verification that rooms, fixtures, and fittings are installed and functioning
    • Checking for visible defects in walls, floors, windows, doors, and cabinetry
    • Reviewing external finishes such as cladding, roofing, gutters, and outdoor areas
    • Identifying visible issues for follow-up with the builder
    • Providing a clear, documented report to support any necessary builder actions

    By conducting a practical completion inspection, you can move forward confidently, knowing any remaining issues are clearly documented.
