Leaks found on handover day in Beveridge
Basin wastes and mixers that drip only when somebody runs them.
A room by room list of what is unfinished or wrong before you sign for a new Beveridge home, while the builder is still obliged to fix it.
One of our inspectors will call you back. If it is urgent, call 1300 471 805.
A Beveridge pre-handover inspection is measured against your building contract, plans and selections, the Guide to Standards and Tolerances 2015, the National Construction Code and ABCB Housing Provisions, AS 3740 for wet areas and AS 3700 for masonry.
33 checkpoints across 10 areas on a standard Beveridge pre-handover (PCI) inspection. Anything locked, covered or stacked against on the day is recorded as not inspected, never assumed to be fine.
Items from Beveridge practical completion reports, from the roof space down to the driveway.
Basin wastes and mixers that drip only when somebody runs them.
Ducts, sarking and exhausts that nobody looks at on the walk-through.

About a week before the builder asks you to sign off, so the list reaches them while there is still time to act on it.
Yes, where it can be entered safely. On Beveridge homes the roof space is where we have found disconnected and crimped ducts, cut sarking and exhaust fans never ducted outside.
Common enough that we run every basin, sink and mixer by hand. A slow drip into a vanity base is easy to miss at handover and expensive to discover months later.
We record it against the plans and selections. One Beveridge front had polystyrene foam where Hebel was specified, which is a contract matter for the builder to answer.
That depends on your contract terms. Our report gives you the documented list; your contract and, if needed, legal advice decide the payment question.
Yes. A reinspection before settlement checks each numbered item and records what is still open.
We write it for the owner and the builder, nobody else. If a dispute goes to the BPC dispute resolution service or VCAT, an expert witness report is prepared separately to the tribunal practice note.
