Handover Inspection Report
Handover inspection report
A handover inspection report is a building report given to the buyer of a newly constructed home. So before the buyer officially takes possession of the new property they are given a handover inspection report.
This report essentially outlines the work that has been carried out on the property to the agreed standards. In this report, we’ll also identify (if there are any) defects, incomplete finishes, and other details that might fall short of industry standards.
The bottom line is that if there is poor workmanship, we’ll identify it. Hopefully, everything is in order, but an inspection is essential to verify if the property is complete and ready for you to move in.
If you’d like to book a handover inspection report, first make sure the building construction is completely finished. Verify this with your tradesman or contractor. This is really the final stage of construction.
Please contact us at (02) 9826 5511 to book a handover inspection or if you have any questions about the service.

Frequently Asked Questions
The main purpose of a building inspection is to observe and identify any major defects to your structure. This might include leaking, structural damage, drainage problems, and any other design defects that might cause you problems now and in the future. We’ll search your property from top to bottom and provide a detailed report on the condition of your dwelling. We offer three main types of inspections, pre-purchase inspections (before you buy), new home inspections (for those building or developing), and site inspections (to monitor the progress and quality of the builder’s work). Since we operate in accordance with NSW standards, you can learn more about the entire inspection checklist here.
We call it a pest inspection but really we are focused on timber pests as they are the main culprits of structural damage in Sydney. Close to a third of all houses in Australia are experiencing some form of termite activity. Sydney in particular is known as a high-risk zone for termite attacks. So we check for ANY evidence of termite activity on your property, which includes, wood damage, timber borers, wood rot, and all other signs.
If you’ve had an inspection done on your property you can expect to get a report emailed to you within a couple of business days. Alternatively, if you would like a printed version of your report we can arrange to have it posted to you. Please be aware that hard copies might incur additional costs.
If you would like to cancel or reschedule an inspection or engineering service, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 24 hours of the booked inspection. Call us on (02) 9826 5511

Yes, we take photos during the inspection and they are available for you in the inspection report or on request.
We recommend regular inspections on all times of houses and properties. A yearly building inspection might not be necessary, but a yearly pest inspection is strongly recommended. If you are selling, buying, or developing you should get your property inspected. If there are major earthworks happening in your area you should get an inspection and obviously if you are concerned in any way, an inspection will provide that peace of mind.
This depends on the urgency of your situation and the detail required. We can discuss timeframes when you book a consultation.
It takes around 1-2 hours to inspect a 3-bedroom house and property. Time may vary depending on what type of inspection you book. For a more accurate estimate please call us or book a consultation.
Again, this depends on the type of report you want. Generally, a building report will include observation of issues and structural defects, pest inspection, recommendations for repair, cost analysis of repairs, and comparison to average market condition. The report will also include all property details, from top-to-bottom, including photos for reference.
