Building a new home is an incredibly exciting chapter in your life, and at InSpec Building and Pest Inspections, we believe we can make that process even more stress-free by offering our specialized Handover Defect Inspection service. We provide an independent, professional inspection of your newly completed property before you take possession. When building a new home, the excitement of finally getting the keys can sometimes cloud a buyer's judgment during the final walkthroughs between builders and clients. In many cases, newly constructed homes have hidden defects or incomplete finishes that may not be immediately evident to you or the builder until after you have settled and moved in. This can quickly become a stressful dispute if the issues were not formally identified at the time of handover. An independent inspection prior to handover removes the emotion and takes both you and the builder out of the complex process of determining what constitutes a defect. Drawing on owner Graham Hurford's 35 years of building industry experience—including extensive work as a site foreman on major projects—our detailed report will clearly identify any defects. This allows for constructive discussions between yourself and the builder to determine and complete any necessary rectifications before final payment, saving you money and ensuring your new home is finished to the highest standard.
