Does the site actually match the paper?
Four of our checks happen on documents. This one happens on the floor, with instruments, in the specific flat you are buying. It is the check that catches what no record will ever tell you, and the only one with a deadline, because your leverage ends the moment you sign the handover.
- 01Is the building standing where the sanctioned plan says it should stand?
- 02Is the carpet area you paid for the carpet area you actually got?
- 03Does everything work: every point, every tap, every latch, every appliance?
- 04Is there moisture in the walls or the slab that will become expensive later?
- 05Are the fittings the brands and specifications named in your agreement?
- 06What must be fixed before you accept handover, rather than after?
Six inspections. Book the one your purchase is at.
Pre-handover snagging
A full inspection of the finished unit before you sign handover, while the developer is still obliged to fix what is found. This is the inspection with the most leverage and the shortest window.
Re-inspection
We return after the snag list has been worked and verify each item against the original photograph. Closed means closed, not marked closed.
Dampness and moisture survey
Meter readings and thermal scanning across walls, ceilings, wet areas and the slab. Moisture is the defect that gets more expensive every month it is left alone.
Multi-stage construction inspection
For under-construction purchases: inspections at structure, at MEP rough-in and at finishing, so problems are caught while they are still cheap and accessible to fix.
Area measurement and verification
Laser measurement of carpet, built-up and super built-up areas against exactly what your agreement says you bought.
Site and setback verification
The sanctioned plan overlaid on what is standing: setbacks, approach road, tower position, common areas and open space.
No finding without a document behind it.
The record we pull before anyone forms an opinion.
The sanctioned plan, on site
Geospatial overlay of the approved layout against what is built.
Your agreement and specification sheet
Areas, materials, brands and fittings you were promised, checked item by item.
Laser measurement
Every room measured. Carpet, built-up and super built-up computed, not accepted.
Moisture meter and thermal imaging
Walls, ceilings, wet areas and slab, for concealed leaks and damp ingress.
Level, plumb and electrical instruments
Floor slope, wall plumb, ceiling level, and a tester on every point.
A photographic record
Every defect photographed, located on the plan and rated by severity.
How we run a physical inspection.
What fails this check.
A physical inspection report.
- Every defect photographed, located on the floor plan and rated by severity
- Instrument readings for moisture, level, plumb and electrical
- Measured areas set against the areas in your agreement
- A snag list written so the site engineer can work directly from it
- A re-inspection sign-off once the items are genuinely closed
Between the offer of possession and your signature on the handover document. That window is where all of your leverage sits. Once you sign, the conversation changes from obligation to goodwill.
