Premium Pre Purchase Inspections
Handover Building Inspections
- Base Stage – this takes place immediately before the slab is poured
- Frame Stage – this inspection will be done once the initial framework is complete
- Lock-up Stage – this will occur on the completion of the roof being laid, windows installed and external cladding completed
- Fixing Stage – Internally the house is inspected for plaster, cabinetry, tile and carpentry defects.
- Handover or Practical Completion – this is an in-depth inspection that will be done only after the builder is completely satisfied that the construction is finished and after everything has been cleaned up
- Warranty Inspection – this will be conducted within one year as a follow-up or second handover inspection to check for any defects that may have presented themselves, all of which your builder is liable to rectify as a part of his extended warranty
Our handover inspections team is able to assist in this regard by providing support and advice, while also carefully assessing and inspecting every stage of the building process.
