We strongly recommend getting your new home inspected by an independent building inspector such as SEQ
The hand over stage or practical completion is ready once the home or building is ready to be occupied. All plumbing, electrical, painting, flooring, appliances should be installed so the house is ready to be lived in. Under the domestic building act, a builder cannot receive the final completion payment until the job has been fully completed in accordance with all laws & legal requirements spelled out in the contract. Our new home inspector will identify all defects and omissions, this will be included as defects on your report for the builder. The owner can then reach an agreement with the builder to have these addressed in an accepted time frame for final payment. SEQ’s customized reports make this process extremely simple by clearly outlining issues in writing and with clear images.
