New Build Pre-Handover Inspection
Once your new home is nearly completed, the builder will contact you to arrange a pre-handover building inspection. This is an opportunity to inspect your new home to make sure your builder is aware of any issues or defects that need to be rectified before you settle and receive the keys for your new home. This is the stage that you should engage a professional building inspector. A handover report will ensure you are protected from any substandard workmanship and builders that may cut corners when building your new home. Taking place prior to settlement of your new home, a handover inspection will ensure your home is up to Australian Standards and ready to move into. The report will highlight in detail any defects or imperfections in the building. We often conduct two inspections on a new building, to ensure the initial highlighted issues have been rectified to a satisfactory level. In this second inspection, it is not uncommon for new defects to be added. It is the responsibility of the builder and sub-contractors to rectify the defects on the report. Locating and understanding defects is made simple with our detailed reports. We inspect every part of your new home for peace of mind.
Having a professional inspection will NOT waive the defect maintenance period of your building contract.

As a small family Building/Developer company we have prepared and sold many properties of our own and know that it only takes a few items to pop up during an inspection to put doubt into a buyer’s mind, making them cautious when it comes to bidding or making an offer.
