We have lined up our private inspector to visit the house prior to our inspection, as per our SS (Site Supervisors) requests. The idea behind this is for things to be flagged in a timely matter to be resolved and to allow the private inspector to work in his own time/space. We will have the report for when we have our PCI days later.
I have also invested a few dollars ($4) in getting a PCI checklist from a website (Member on Homeone)
http://www.anewhouse.com.au/2012/01/practical-completion-inspection/
I will post after the PCI a small review as to how useful we found the guide in our situation, however it is looking like it will be a great help and we will just write up a small list to compliment it - $4 is great investment to do most of the leg work!
This should also keep us focused on checking items (that we may not have even thought of), that may skip out mind in the excitement / scrutiny applied to specific problems or getting bogged down in them and distracted.
Our handover date is looking to be 2 weeks after the PCI. We are hoping it is sooner if possible and will be arranging the bank cheque (which takes 1-2 weeks to happen with the way banks process things) ready as soon as possible.
Once the date is booked/happens, it will be straight to fencing and concreting! I will detail these more in future posts.
Glad you are finding the PCI guide interesting.

Thanks Brain, it was a good read and provided points we are likely to miss. Time is also getting away from us (no matter how well you plan!), so the list we write up won't have months of work and planning, or industry knowledge.
