Handover / Completion Inspection
A Construction Handover Report or Completion Inspection is required to ensure your property is completed as agreed and to a high standard.
This report is a building completion / defects report carried out on a new property that provides a detailed summary of all defects found, including cosmetic and structural. Where a standard building report will not usually comment on cosmetic defects, a completion report will comment on the same defects as a standard building report and will also itemise cosmetic defects such as scratches on cupboard doors, poor internal paint finish to walls and ceilings, marks on floors and carpets etc. in accordance with Appendix C AS4349.1-2007.
Building completion reports should be carried out after all work is complete to a building and preferably before the building is occupied to ensure the builder cannot blame cosmetic defects on yourself or removalist etc.
