Reduce the Stress at Handover, With Our Builder Pre Hand Over Inspections Melbourne.

Home Building Assist’s Perfect Solution for Builder Pre Hand Over Inspections Melbourne.

When it comes to your new home final walkthrough, who supervises your supervisor? Who walks your client through their new home built in Melbourne prior to hand over? Who determines if an item is defective?

There are common issues with new home final walkthroughs that builders in Melbourne face. It could be you have a difficult client. As a result, they now want an independent building inspector to check the home you built for them.

Or, If the build has been a stressful one, you may require a professional building inspector to conduct the inspection FOR you, as a positive step to being impartial and fair.

This can reduce the possibility of unreasonable requests to fix items that don’t require it. These problems can influence how smooth it will be with a new home final handover with your client.

The issue with many independent building inspectors is that they are not really independent, and actually very much biased to the person who is paying them.

If you are a Melbourne builder, I’m sure you can relate to this. The fear of god has been put into your client’s mind, making every explanation seem like you are hiding something. As a result, the relationship can go downhill fast.

When this happens, at best it can be a stressful handover, at worst withholding of final payment, litigation and your client taking possession regardless. And when the solicitors get involved things are not going to resolve themselves quickly or cheaply.

This is where our service is so highly valued.

A Viable Solution to your New Build Final Walkthrough & Happier Clients

How good would it be if you had an experienced builder’s eye go over your work and bring to your attention the items that an independent inspector is likely to report on?

How much more professional would your construction company look, pointing out the defects to your client or items that your quality audit has found. Giving them the peace of mind and assurance that you, as their builder, is dealing with handover defects whether they knew they existed or not. Imagine how that improves trust for your client and the likelihood that the final walkthrough will go smoothly!

Or better still, fix the items that Home Building Assist reports on, before the inspection and give your client or their inspector even less items to report on.
