Building a new home is exciting, but before you accept the keys, it’s essential to make sure the work has been completed properly and to a standard you’re happy with.
HEW Projects provides independent handover and pre-handover inspections across the Gold Coast. Also known as a Practical Completion Inspection (PCI), this is your final opportunity to ensure your new home meets the contract, the plans, and the Australian Standards, before the final payment is made.
Led by licensed builder and inspector Wale Makinde (QBCC Licence No. 15267396), our inspections give you clarity, confidence and a detailed record of any items that need attention before handover.
