PRE-HANDOVER DEFECTS
The final inspection is to assess the quality and compliance of the house deemed ready for hand-over by the builder.
​
It is very important for your builder to be given full opportunity to complete the schedule of works and for them to prepare and execute their own defects list BEFORE Stewart Building Consultants carry out our Stage 4 Inspection. The reason for this is that the builder should fulfill their obligation to you before we make comment. This is not only sensible but courteous in that your relationship with the builder can be damaged if our assessment of a home is 'nearly finished'. The home should be fully ready for occupation when we conduct our Stage 4 Inspection.
​
After our report is sent, you should consult with your builder and allow an agreed period of time to rectify any issues to your satisfaction BEFORE taking possession of your home.
This process is becoming increasingly popular with clients and builders alike.
