Handover Inspections
“New Homes”
Gold Coast Building Inspector Handover Inspections provide you with a detailed condition of your proposed new property before final payment is made. It is highly recommended to do a Handover Inspection, as it can be difficult to get the builder back to rectify any problems at a later date. This will give you peace of mind before handing over your final installment.
It is recommended to arrange this inspection in advance before the due handover date, this will give you the opportunity to raise any issues prior to handover.
At handover or within 6 months of the completion date, the contractor is required to correct any minor defects or minor omissions at handover.
Our highly trained building inspector is obligated to report on all aspects of the building so you have a clean handover.
Note: Be aware some builders will provide you with their own handover inspection report. This report is required to be independent of the builder (this will be a conflict of interest and most likely favour the builder with less defects identified).
If you would like a little example of what we offer in our Handover inspections then this little list will give you an idea:
- Site gradient
- Surface drainage
- Termite notice & weep hole clearances
- Internal/Exterior finishers
- Test taps, fans, aircon, windows
- Cracks, sealants and flashings
- Paint & plaster finishes
- Ventilation including subfloor ventilation
- Cabinetry finish – for scratches and alignment
