Get Peace of Mind with Professional New Build Handover Inspections in Melbourne
Purchasing a newly built home is a major investment, and the handover stage is your final opportunity to identify defects, incomplete work, and workmanship issues before taking ownership. Our New Build Handover Inspection service provides an independent assessment of your property’s condition, helping ensure the home has been completed to an acceptable standard. We carefully inspect visible building elements, finishes, fixtures, and installations to identify issues that may require attention before settlement or handover. We offer:
Our inspection covers accessible internal and external areas of the property, assessing workmanship, finishes, fittings, fixtures, and visible defects that may impact the quality or functionality of the home.
We inspect visible structural elements, including walls, ceilings, floors, roofing components, and other accessible building features for signs of cracking, movement, damage, or incomplete work.
The inspection identifies visible safety concerns, building defects, and workmanship issues that may require rectification before the property is handed over. .
During our inspections, we commonly find the following defects in new builds:
Surface Imperfections: Scratches, dents, or paint drips on walls and surfaces are common issues that builders may overlook in the final stages of construction.
Plumbing Issues: Leaks, poorly installed fittings, or low water pressure are common problems that can lead to long-term damage if not addressed early.
Electrical Deficiencies: We often find problems with light fixtures, faulty wiring, or inadequate socket placement.
Poorly Fitted Doors and Windows: Ill-fitting doors and windows can cause drafts, moisture issues, or security concerns.
Uneven Flooring: Uneven or improperly installed flooring can cause both cosmetic and safety concerns over time.
Incomplete or Missing Fixtures: Missing light switches, unfinished cabinetry, or uninstalled appliances are frequent oversights that need attention before handover.

A New Build Handover Inspection is a thorough review of your newly built property, designed to identify any defects or unfinished work before you take possession. This ensures your builder addresses all issues before final handover.
Even new homes can have hidden defects. An independent inspection helps uncover these issues, ensuring your builder rectifies them before you move in. This can save you time, stress, and money in the long run
The cost of a new build handover inspection depends on the size and complexity of the property. Our rates start at $400, and we offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees.
Most inspections take between 2 to 3 hours, depending on the size of the property. You will receive a detailed report within 24 hours of the inspection.
If defects are found, we’ll list them clearly in the report. You can then present this to your builder, who should fix these issues before the final handover. We offer follow-up inspections to confirm the corrections have been made.
We inspect all key areas of your home, including structural integrity, plumbing, electrical systems, doors and windows, flooring, finishes, and fixtures. Our goal is to ensure everything is built and installed correctly.
