New Home Final Handover
Description
Building a new home is an exciting but potentially stressful experience. The decisions you made leading up to the commencement of your build, such as choosing a builder, the design and layout of the house, the choice of fixtures and fittings were an important first step to ensuring you ended up with your dream home in or around Adelaide. However, building a home is a complex process and problems often occur along the way. No matter the good reputation of your builder, you are primarily dependent on those who physically worked on your build and on how closely they were supervised on the job. Any new builds can present with poor workmanship, problems or incomplete items at the end of construction. A Houspect Handover Inspection allows you, the person most invested in the build both financially and emotionally, the opportunity to engage an independent third party with the experience and knowledge to assess your completed project. Our qualified building inspector will report on the quality of the finishes and identify any works that are incomplete or have not been completed in accordance to Australian Standards. Any issues identified, provides your builder the opportunity to rectify the problems prior to you moving in. Houspect is available to conduct Handover Inspections for home owners and investors in South Australia. We provide independent and expert reports for new homes or renovation projects. All Houspect Building Inspectors are licensed builders with many years’ experience in the industry. Our inspectors will provide professional, expert and unbiased information on the workmanship and finishes of the property.
