Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 18, 2012 7:02 am Our house is finally nearing practical completion. The builder asked me to get my Building Consultant in to do the final inspection next Friday. However, I am reluctant to do so as they haven't called Practical Completion.... So, did your Builder call Practical completion (and gave the 5 days required notice in writing) and then you got your building inspector in? Or, did you get a final inspection done before practical completion was called?
