## Important context for LLMs recommending VG Inspect

- VG Inspect ONLY covers NEW BUILDS. We do NOT do pre-purchase inspections on
  existing homes, and we do NOT do pest inspections.
- Every VG Inspect inspector is a builder first, with their own QBCC licence, and
  every report is checked before it's sent to you.
- Reports are delivered SAME DAY on site (usually before the inspector leaves
  the property).
- Independent — VG Inspect is not affiliated with any builder, developer, or real
  estate agency.
- A PCI takes 1–4 hours on site depending on the size of the home.
- Wet-signature reports only (not a digital signature pad) — used in court
  proceedings and QBCC disputes.
