Hi All,
I have my PCI scheduled with Metricon this week and looks like the driveway and concrete path around the house will be done after the PCI. I was wondering how many of the items in the contract can be left uncompleted at the PCI. This is a list of items that I know will not be completed by the time of PCI:
- Driveway
- Concrete Pathway
- Mirrors
- Appliances
- Garage door
What are your thoughts on that?
Thanks
1) formally ask for install dates of the 5 items
2) formally schedule a PCI specifically for the 5 items once done
It is common to have the appliances to be done very last...even after PCI...just before handover.
PCI is really identifying the main defects before handover.
You will need to check the items carefully before the Handover.
It is very common to not fit appliances until handover day to minimise the possibility of theft
Your house is most vulnerable to theft on the night of handover as there will be many people who know there is an empty house with new appliances. For that reason I change the locks and 'camp out' in the house until the rest of the family move in.
Our appliances went in over a week ago and we still haven’t had our walk through with them yet, I always heard they were last apparently not in our case.

That's a good idea thanks

I have scheduled a private inspection just before the walk through and I wanted most of the items to be completed so that I get the most of the private inspection. I might need to scheduled a secondary private inspection after everything is done, especially for the driveway and concrete pathway.
FYI: I bought the PCI checklist from your website. Very detailed and useful.
