Building Dispute Practitioners Society A Greenbank handover inspection checks the build against the approved drawings, engineering, the NCC and the QBCC Standards and Tolerances Guide.
34 checkpoints across 9 areas on a standard Greenbank pre-handover (PCI) inspection. We get on site when you have safe access to the land and the structure, and a builder knows an inspector is coming. We can only inspect areas we can access safely and clearly.
Recorded during the practical completion stage of new homes.

The render is applied late in the build. It can cover weep holes, bridge movement joints and hide where a joint was left out. These faults are simple to fix now but become difficult to notice later.
Tiles are fixed with dots of adhesive rather than full coverage. The tiles sound hollow when tapped and are prone to cracking. Water can also pool in the spaces beneath the tiles.
No testing of electrical, gas or plumbing systems. Appliances and air conditioning are not commissioned. We do not dismantle or cut into walls or roofing. Switchboards and wiring are the responsibility of a licensed electrician.
