Pre Completion Inspections
I have an inspection scheduled for a strata apartment prior to settlement to identify any defects.
My question is who inspects the common property prior to settlement.
As there is no owners committee in existence at this time.
There may be more important defects in C P (eg fire systems working , presence of flammable aluminium sandwich panels etc )than elsewhere, or do we rely on the building certifier ?

There is a limit to what you can and/or need to do before the first AGM and strata committee is elected (which markf the end of the Initial Period to which you will see references)
You should get a professional inspection of the interior of your unit now so that the developer can’t claim wear and tear. But as for common property, that is a much bigger task that must be undertaken by the Owners Corp and I have extracted the section of the Act that deals with that. It’s a bit of a read.
