5 Benefits of Handover Inspections

Reaching the point of handover is the greatly anticipated end to what has often been a long and overwhelming construction journey. We get it, the last thing you probably feel like doing is drawing out that process by disputing various defects with your builder. However, this is where most new home builds come unstuck. Just as you are motivated to take over the keys to your new property, your builder is equally motivated to receive the final pay cheque, relieve cashflow and move onto the next project. For this reason, we encourage you to not solely rely on builders and developers to carry out an unbiased final quality check on their own work.

Here are five of the main benefits to involving Pro Inspect in the practical completion and handover stage of your new build:

• Achieve a higher quality finished product
  Usually you, the buyer or investor, are at the mercy of the builders interpretation of the industry standards and quality of workmanship. However, with a Pro Inspect Handover Inspection report, you have peace of mind knowing that your property not only meets the absolute minimum industry standards of workmanship (in accordance with the National Australian Standards and relevant Building Codes) but ultimately, that you’re getting what you paid for.

• Avoid the stress and disappointment
  Most people are not aware of what to expect at their final handover. When engaging Pro Inspect in the practical completion and handover stage of construction, you’re able to avoid the undue pressure that can come with navigating the most critical stage alone. When conducting a Handover Inspection, we know where to look and exactly what to look for.

• Gain unbiassed, expert advice
  As Pro Inspect work independently, you can be assured that our inspections are carried out ethically and our reports untainted.

• See issues resolved sooner
  Don’t leave yourself open to the disappointment of discovering what initially appeared to be just a few minor items at the time of handover, has developed into a significant list of outstanding issues, no longer being given due priority by your builder. Even the industry regulators, the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (also known as QBCC), are unable to assist you with your concerns until the end of the 12-month defect liability period. Engaging Pro Inspect in the practical completion and handover stage is the most efficient and effective way to ensuring your issues are resolved before the final payment has been made.

• Save time and money
  Pro Inspect will equip you with clear, detailed Handover Inspection Reports that not only capture items often overlooked in the practical completion and handover stage but will also streamline the process between you and your builder.

You haven’t come this far in your building journey to sell yourself short on what is arguably the most crucial stage of construction.
