PCI vs Post-Completion
Which inspection do you actually need?
| Consideration | Pre-Completion | Post-Completion |
|---|---|---|
| Timing | Before legal completion | After you move in |
| Builder obligation to fix pre-handover | ||
| Full FLIR thermal imaging sweep | ||
| Drone roof & flashing capture | ||
| Furnished-home access limitations | ||
| NHBC / Building Regulation citations | ||
| Leverage inside 2-year warranty |
Unsure? Most Cambridge buyers book a PCI before handover and a comprehensive diagnostic snag a few months in, before the two-year warranty tightens.
