Quality Assurance with Handover Inspections
Ensuring Excellence in Your New Build
When you’re investing in a new construction project, you rightfully expect top-notch workmanship and quality. A construction handover inspection is a critical step to ensure that your new property or renovation meets the highest standards set by licensed builders. At Vital Reports, we serve as an independent party dedicated to safeguarding your investment on the Central Coast.
Why Handover Inspections Matter
1. Independent Verification
Our building inspection serves as an unbiased evaluation of your new property, confirming that all work has been completed to the required standards. We act independently to provide you with the assurance you need.
2. Comprehensive Inspection
Our meticulous handover inspection covers a wide range of potential issues, leaving no stone unturned. From critical building elements like roof structure and insulation installation to aesthetic finishes like paintwork and door fittings, we assess every detail.
3. Identifying Defects
An end-of-build inspection may reveal various defects that need attention, including issues with brickwork, surface drainage, roof finishes, balcony and waterproofing, falls in guttering, retaining walls, and much more. Identifying these issues ensures they are addressed before you finalise payment.
Our Process
After conducting a thorough inspection, we invite you to join us onsite to witness the quality of your new construction first-hand. During this meeting, we provide a detailed explanation of our findings in both verbal and written reports. Our reports, adhering to the AS 4349.1 2007 standard, are designed for easy comprehension and can be shared with your builder to facilitate any necessary remedial work before payment is made.
