FAQ

Pre-Handover (PCI) Inspections in Oran Park: common questions

Is a list of painting defects worth paying for?

It is worth having in writing before you pay, because after handover it becomes a warranty claim rather than an outstanding item. Whether it is worth the fee on its own is a fair question, and it is the reason we push people toward the earlier stages first.

Why are downlight clearances treated differently?

Because insulation packed against a fitting that needs air around it is a fire risk. We report it as a safety item, not inside the general list.

How much notice is ideal?

Two to three weeks before handover, so the builder has room to rectify and you have room to verify.
