Our Proven Pre-Handover Process
Our handover inspections follow a structured and thorough process to ensure every accessible part of the property is properly assessed. We take a quality-assurance approach, checking for defects, incomplete work, and compliance with Australian building standards.
Our inspections are carried out by experienced and licensed professionals and include a detailed review of all major structural, functional, and safety components of the property. Our building inspection checklist includes:
- Structural Elements: We inspect all internal and external walls, ceilings, and flooring systems to assess the overall structural integrity of the building. This includes assessing construction quality, visible defects, and any signs of movement or instability that may affect the safety or durability of the property.
- Fixtures & Fittings: Our inspection includes a detailed review of windows, doors, frames, and other permanent fixtures. We assess the quality of installation, alignment, functionality, and finish to ensure all elements are properly fitted and meet the expected standard.
- Safety Features: We evaluate critical safety components such as stairs, balconies, railings, and safety barriers to confirm they comply with current building codes.
- Finishing Work: Our team thoroughly examines the quality of finishes throughout the property, including plastering, tiling, painting, and other visible surface treatments. We verify that workmanship meets both functional and aesthetic standards, free from visible defects or inconsistencies.
- Building Systems: Plumbing systems are tested for proper installation and functionality, while the roof structure (where accessible) is inspected to ensure correct construction and insulation compliance. These checks are essential for long-term performance and energy efficiency.
- External Works:: We assess external brickwork, concrete elements, and the overall condition of the façade. Our inspection also includes checking weatherproofing, drainage systems, and the general quality of external construction to ensure the property is protected from environmental elements.
