Your builder will walk you through and hand you a key. We walk the same house first and write down every item that is unfinished, damaged or outside tolerance, while the contract still gives you leverage.
We measure a Clyde PCI against your building contract and colour 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.
0 checkpoints across 0 areas on a standard Clyde pre-handover (PCI) inspection. We inspect what can be reached safely on the day. Anything locked, covered or blocked by stored goods is recorded as not inspected rather than passed.
Every item below came out of a Clyde PCI report. The wording is the inspector's, shortened for reading.

As soon as your builder gives you a practical completion date, and at least a week before it. That leaves time for us to attend, write the report and for you to send the list before you are asked to sign.
It is a visual inspection. We do not energise circuits, pressure test plumbing, commission heating or cooling, test appliances or automatic garage door safety systems, and we do not inspect concealed framing, anything below ground or areas blocked by stored goods. Electrical, gas and appliance commissioning are for the licensed trades and the certifier.
Yes. A reinspection checks each item off the original report and gives you a second written record before settlement, which matters if anything is still outstanding.
