Why it matters here

Pre-handover (PCI) inspections on Marsden Park builds

The Marsden Park handover set from these jobs is small, and that is worth stating rather than padding. What it contains is water and fixings: fixtures draining slowly, something loose, a fitting in the wrong place and work recorded as non compliant. On these builds the weight of the findings came earlier, at frame and at waterproofing, which is the shape you want and an argument for booking the front of the job.

What we find at this stage in Marsden Park

  • Fixtures draining slowly
  • Elements loose or inadequately secured
  • Fittings not in the location drawn
  • Work recorded as non compliant
  • Wet area finishes and sealing to be made good

FAQ

Pre-handover (PCI) inspections in Marsden Park: common questions

Why is this list short?

Because that is what these jobs produced. We would rather show six real findings than fill the page, and a short handover list usually means the earlier stages did their work.

Is there a second visit confirming the fixes?

Yes. The return visit marks every item done, partly done or still open, and that record goes to the handover meeting.

How many items is typical?

Running to dozens is normal for new work. What you want is the structural to cosmetic split.

What if an item gets contested?

Each item is tied to the specific clause, tolerance or standard it misses. Where it cannot be settled, NSW Fair Trading comes first and NCAT after.

How much notice is ideal?

Two to three weeks ahead of handover.

Should I attend?

You are, and plenty of owners come along. Seeing an item in place beats reading about it.
