Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jul 13, 2012 1:37 pm Hi, We are fast approaching PCI and I'm just after some advice from others who have built. Any specifics to look for? Any tips for us? And also, did you get an independant inspector to inspect at your PCI? One other question, in your case, how long after PCI did you get your keys?
