Description

A practical completion and handover inspection protects new home buyers and property investors by thoroughly checking a newly constructed dwelling or major renovation before final payment is made. Conducted by licensed builder-inspectors, this comprehensive evaluation ensures all construction work meets acceptable standards, statutory warranties, and Australian building codes. The inspector systematically evaluates every accessible section of the property, examining joinery, surface finishes, waterproofing membranes in wet areas, roof tile or sheet cladding, window flashings, and installed plumbing and electrical fixtures. The service aims to identify unfinished contract work, cosmetic defects, safety hazards, and improper trade practices across interior and exterior spaces. Within 24 hours of inspection, clients receive an actionable report complete with annotated photographs, categorized defect priority lists, and clear rectification requests to present directly to the builder. This independent report empowers buyers to enforce quality standards and secure builder rectification during statutory warranty periods.
