The final stages of your custom home build are as important as the beginning. A thorough handover process ensures your home is completed to specification and you understand how to operate all systems and maintain your new home.
Final Inspections
Before handover, comprehensive inspections verify that all work is complete and meets specifications. Council final inspections confirm compliance with building regulations. Address any defects or incomplete items before accepting the home.

Q: What should I check during the handover walkthrough?
Check all finishes, test appliances, verify all fixtures are installed, inspect for damage or defects, and ensure all systems operate correctly. Take photos and document any issues for follow-up.
Warranty and Maintenance
Understand your warranty coverage and maintenance requirements. Most builders provide a 1-year warranty on workmanship and 5-10 years on structural elements. Regular maintenance keeps your home in excellent condition.
