Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jul 22, 2009 5:45 pm Hi Guys, Our SS has advised us that they do not want our private inspector to come and check the house until PCI, which is handover day. Which I can somewhat understand, as they want the inspector to check the place when they have completed everything. Our walkthrough is next week, but there are still things that need to be completed after that time. He assures us that if the building inspector finds anything on handover day it would be corrected within two weeks, Is it strange we are not allowed our inspector until handover day??

Make sure you get everything documented and signed in this case so any areas that require attention are not brushed aside I have not heard of anyone else doing it this way but maybe it is common Re: Is this strange>> HANDOVER 3Jul 22, 2009 6:22 pm Yeah, the PCI is same day as handover! SS said that anything that comes up that isnt right will be documented to be fixed. I thought it just sounds strange to do it on handover day???

If you aren't homeless in the meantime make them fix everything before you move in, Re: Is this strange>> HANDOVER 5Jul 22, 2009 7:06 pm PCI and handover the same day!!??? NO... Our build was fantastic but we still had a week between PCI and handover.... even though there was hardly anything to be fixed they still need time to fix things..... The big M are not known for their after handover service.
