Don’t Accept Defects at Handover

Buying or building a new home is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make. Unfortunately, defects and incomplete works are common – and once you accept handover, fixing them can become difficult and costly.

Finalinspect works only for you, not builders or developers. We identify defects, non compliant work, and incomplete items so you can address issues before it’s too late.

Our Inspection Services

New Home & Pre-Handover Inspections

Ensure your new home is completed to the required standards before final payment.  We inspect against Australian Standards and building regulations, providing you with a clear, actionable report.

Apartment & Townhouse Inspections

Independent inspections for apartments, townhouses, and multi-unit developments, including common defects often overlooked during handover.

Maintenance Period Inspections

Identify defects during the builder’s maintenance period while repairs are still the builder’s responsibility.

Insurance & Defects Reports

Clear, detailed reports suitable for insurance claims and dispute resolution.

√ Clear, Easy-to-understand Reports – Practical reports with photos, defect descriptions and clear recommendations.

What Our Clients Say

Peter was a meticulous inspector. His report was thorough and included details with photo evidence and accordance with Australian standards and relevant acts and guidelines. Clear recommendations were also given to both the builder and myself. Definitely worth investing in.” – Cyrus

“Peter has recently helped me with the pre handover inspection of my new house. Peter is a very experienced building consultant attending to details. All the defects and outstanding items found were clearly listed and documented in an easy to understand format with reference to the applicable building regulation and industrial standards. He also provided clear instructions and recommendations for the rectification of each defect found, very professional. I will recommend his service to anyone I know.” – Mr. C Lee

“We have built 3 houses using Peter’s service. His service and guidance is nothing short of fantastic. Peter has been a great support and liaised with our site supervisors with a results oriented approach. Picking up the “minor” things is very important to prevent potential problems in the future. Peter has been able to pick items that we had walked past previously and had not even noticed them. His reports clearly advised ourselves and our site supervisor (in both pictures and words) what issues there were and what need to be done to rectify the situation. We would have no hesitation in recommending Finalinspect and Peter to anyone.” – Mr. S Groves
