Description

The handover stage inspection, also known as a practical completion inspection, is the final and most critical step in the new home construction process. Before you make your final payment to the builder and accept the keys, our independent registered building practitioners thoroughly assess the entire property. We ensure that all construction work has been completed to a high standard, in accordance with the approved plans, contract specifications, and Australian building codes. Our detailed inspection covers every aspect of the newly built home, focusing on the quality of finishes, structural integrity, and operational readiness. We carefully examine the installation of cabinetry, tiling, painting, plastering, doors, and windows, while also testing plumbing fixtures and electrical fittings. Our expert eye identifies minor cosmetic blemishes as well as major structural defects that the builder must rectify before you move in. You will receive a comprehensive, photo-documented defect list on the same day of the inspection. This professional report serves as an official document that you can present directly to your builder, ensuring all outstanding issues are resolved quickly and professionally.
