Brisbane handover inspection price examples
Checked against our online calculator on . These examples include GST and cover one Handover / Practical Completion inspection in Brisbane.
| Property example | Price |
|---|---|
| 100-square-metre unit | $535 |
| 200-square-metre house | $585 |
| 350-square-metre house | $845 |
These totals exclude optional drone roof inspections, follow-up visits and discounts. Other regions can attract travel charges for each visit. An individual unit inspection does not include shared common property. Enter your property’s total building floor area, rather than land size, in the calculator.
The standard handover service includes an inspection of visible and safely accessible work within the agreed scope and a photographic report. Standard residential reports are generally issued the same day. See our handover inspection prices and inclusions, then use the calculator for your exact total.
What affects the inspection cost?
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Property type and size | A larger home has more rooms, surfaces, fixtures and openings to inspect. |
| Inspection stage | A frame-stage visit, completed-home handover and follow-up visit assess different work. |
| Location | Some regions attract travel charges. Choose the correct region in the calculator. |
| Additional scope | Specialist concerns or optional services need to be included in the quote. |
| Multiple units or common property | Development inspections need an agreed scope and a project-specific quote. |
What does a handover inspection include?
GoInspect checks visible and safely accessible workmanship within the agreed scope. Relevant areas include internal finishes, doors and windows, cabinetry, tiling, flooring, bathrooms, laundries and accessible external work. Reported defects are documented with photographs and locations, with responsible trades identified where applicable.
Our handover inspections guide explains the service and includes a sample report. Standard residential reports are generally issued the same day. Confirm the timing when booking if your builder’s walkthrough is approaching.
A visual inspection cannot assess concealed construction or guarantee that a home is defect-free. Appliance testing, specialist electrical or plumbing certification, engineering assessment and external roof access should not be assumed to be included. Tell us about any particular concerns before booking.
Is a second inspection included?
A handover follow-up is an optional, separately priced visit. It checks reported rectification and relevant visible concerns within the agreed scope. Select it in the quote form where available, or ask us to confirm the price and timing.
Comparing prices between inspectors
Compare the same property and scope. Check GST, travel, reporting, access limitations and whether a return visit is included. Ask to see a sample report and verify the provider’s relevant licence and insurance. A low price alone does not establish that an inspector is unlicensed or inexperienced.
For a practical comparison checklist, read what to compare in a new home inspection quote.
When should I book?
Contact us when your builder can advise when the home will be ready for inspection. Coordinate access and allow time to review the report before the builder walkthrough where possible. Practical completion can include minor defects; an inspection report does not itself decide payment obligations. Check your contract and the QBCC practical completion guidance.
Frequently asked questions
Do you publish a single fixed price for every Brisbane home?
No. Use the calculator for the property and services you need. A price quoted for another home may involve a different floor area, region or inspection scope.
Can I get a price before I know the inspection date?
Yes. Check your price online and follow the booking form’s instructions if the date is not yet known. The visit still needs to be arranged and confirmed.
What about stage inspections?
Use the stage inspections guide to understand the visits, then select your stages in the quote form.
Can you quote for an apartment development?
Yes. Use our builders and developers quote page to discuss unit numbers, common areas, reporting and the inspection programme.
