PCI & Pre-Handover Private Inspection

Hi All!

It has been a while :) I have just came back from holiday and have the PCI inspection with my SS on the next day. The house has been finished and overall we are happy with the colors.

During the PCI, we had a lot of points (50+) to be fixed and rectified which most of them related to paints touch ups. However there are a lot more than that as well e.g marked windows, uneven drawer, uneven door handle, uneven power points, incorrect shower head on ensuite, incorrect switch allocation in laundry, incorrect kitchen taps (still), broken walls, etc etc...

And you think that is it? Nope... today we have a private inspection (which I am now sure that it is very important to have especially at this stage) to attend the house and he picked up another 44 points to be rectified including missing insulation bats, uneven ceiling (which is hard to fix), missing concrete tiles (which I called the SS straight away to be fixed because it is raining today), uncleaned return air (the tradies put empty bottles and woods scraps are not cleaned) etc etc...

Very disappointed with the inspection result :( but was expecting to have things that is not right at this point of time, however still not expecting it to be this much to fix. Hopefully Carlisle will be able to fully fixed and won't have to many excuses not to fix them.

Anyway now time for current photos :)

Plumbing, Heat / Cooling Vent & Security Alarm

Hi All

Another update on the progress of the house :)

Kitchen sink, bath, toilet and most of the tap-ware has been installed. Unfortunately they got our kitchen mixer wrong, so now I have a choice either to keep it or ask Carlisle to change it to the one that we order. Which one do you think is better looking?

Soft Close Toilet

Mixer Tap Installed

Bath Tub

Shower Mixer Installed

Kitchen Sink with Incorrect Tap

The Right Tap, Which one is better?

Some of the electrical fitting have also been done, 3 Point Security Alarm has also been installed

Connection in Lounge Area

One of The PIR
Heating and Cooling Vents have also been done around the house. Now considering that we can close the vent manually by twisting it make no sense to do zoning at all! Just need to close on the rooms that you are not using.

Tiling Completed (missing a piece)


Hi All,

It has been another week and surprisingly when I come to the house today there is someone working so we can come in and have a look :)

I now can see the painting done very closely. I already can see some minor imperfections that I will bring up on the next inspection.

I will have my first meeting with SS this Wednesday, really want to put a face on the name :) He has been very helpful along the way but have never manage to meet him so I requested it and he will walk me trough the current house.

Bathroom with one Missing Tiles not sure why?
