Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jan 24, 2009 10:32 am We have our PCI booked in next week and I'm after any tips anyone has when doing the inspection. We already engaged Kevin at the pre-plaster stage, though doing the PCI ourselves.
There's a few noticable plaster issues that i've seen during the evening, and i've been told to take a torch and shine it up the walls as they are hard to spot during the day. Any other tips? What else should we be looking out for? Can we build it? Yes we can ! http://windsor42.blogspot.com/ Original Artworks http://www.debbierobinson.com.au Re: PCI Tips 2Jan 24, 2009 7:47 pm I would check:
- lights/powerpoints/appliances are working - window frames for scratches - finish of cornices and bulkheads - paintwork, particularly around door hinges and other fiddly areas - stone/laminex for scratches - tiles for marks and grout for efflorescence/discolouration - gouges or cracks in plaster - fill up sinks and basins to check drainage and to make sure they're not leaking into the cabinet below - open and unlock/lock all windows and deadbolts - flush toilets - chips or damage to ceiling - plaster finish around windows That should get you started! Take your own checklist with items to look for in each room so you don't forget anything. Matrix Re: PCI Tips 3Jan 29, 2009 4:13 pm Thanks, great tips. I've added them to our checklist for tomorrow.
