The final inspection before you sign for practical completion, and the last one where the builder carries the full cost of rectification. In Wyndham Vale we follow it with a reinspection.
One of our inspectors will call you back. If it is urgent, call 1300 471 805.
A leaking shower, cracked roof tiles, weep holes too close to the ground and stormwater pipes left open have all been recorded at Wyndham Vale handovers. Several were still there at the reinspection weeks later.
