Pre-Completion Snagging Inspections for New-Build Homes

Independent Inspections carried out before legal completion - helping identify defects before you take ownership of your new home.

WHAT IS A PRE-COMPLETION INSPECTION (PCI)

A pre-completion inspection (PCI) is a professional inspection carried out before you legally complete on your new-build property.

​

The inspection identifies visible defects, poor workmanship and unfinished items while the developer still has the opportunity to address them before handover.

​

At Castle Snagging Inspections, We inspect properties against recognised industry standards and accepted construction tolerances, providing clear photographic reporting and prioritised findings.
