Handover Inspections for New Builds
Do not assume your brand-new home is flawless!
You’ve invested time, money, and energy into having your new home built – so it’s only natural to expect everything to be perfect at handover.
But the reality is, new builds often come with defects. With multiple trades involved and tight construction timelines, small (and sometimes significant) issues can easily be overlooked.
That’s where a professional handover inspection service becomes essential.
At Trimax Building Inspections, we provide independent inspections that Brisbane new home owners can rely on – so you can take those keys with confidence.
Protect your Investment Before You Move In
Handover is one of the most important stages of your new build. It’s your opportunity to identify defects before settlement – while your builder is still responsible for fixing them.
At Trimax Building Inspections, our goal is simple: Identify any issues early so they can be rectified before you move in.
It should be one of the most exciting milestones of your life – let us help keep it that way!
Real Issues Found in New Builds
Think it won’t happen to you? The truth is, we commonly uncover issues during our handover inspections in Brisbane including:
- Inadequate or failed bathroom waterproofing
- Poorly applied or deteriorating silicone sealing
- Blocked or debris-filled door tracks
- Clogged weepholes affecting drainage
- Leaking taps and plumbing fixtures
- Incomplete or substandard paint finishes
Fortunately, The Queensland Home Warranty Scheme, administered by the QBCC, is designed to protect you from faulty or defective building work. This is why it makes sense to obtain an independent inspection when it comes time for handover.
