What is a PCI Inspection North Lakes?
PCI / Practical Completion Inspection in North Lakes carried out by a VG Inspect QBCC-licensed inspector — Licence 1318443. North Lakes is one of the most active building corridors across South East Queensland and VG Inspect attends pci inspections in North Lakes regularly across all major volume and mid-tier builders.
A pci inspection in North Lakes costs from $660 and includes a same-day PDF report issued on-site (most inspections, exclusions apply). Every defect is photographed and referenced against the relevant Australian Standard, the QBCC Standards and Tolerances and the National Construction Code.
VG Inspect works exclusively for buyers — never for the builder. The report you receive is the formal document required to enforce your builder's rectification obligations under the QBCC Home Warranty scheme. Without it, defects identified at handover quickly become your problem to fix.
