The 7 checkpoints every handover inspection should cover
A walk-through of the seven areas we test on every handover — from workmanship to handover readiness.
Once your builder says the home is ready, the clock starts ticking on your warranty and obligations. A structured inspection catches issues while they're still the builder's problem to fix.
1. Workmanship Quality
Walls, floors, ceilings and joinery checked with industry-standard tolerances.
2. Finishes & Fixtures
Cosmetic defects and functional checks on kitchen fit-out, bathroom fittings and hardware.
3. Systems & Services
Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, water supply and smart-home systems tested end-to-end.
4. Safety & Compliance
Earthing, RCCBs, balcony railings and fire-safety provisions.
5. Documentation Review
Warranties, as-built drawings, service manuals and approvals cross-checked.
6. Snagging & Rectification
Prioritised snag list shared with the builder and re-inspected after fixes.
7. Handover Readiness
A clear go / no-go recommendation before you sign off.
