Record job details, client information, inspection dates, and per-room issues across entrances, garage, kitchen, laundry, living areas, bedrooms, bathrooms, and externals.

House Defects Inspection Checklist
This house defects inspection checklist supports site supervisors during residential walkthroughs. It covers all key areas of a home, including entrance and hallways, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, dining, living, laundry, garage, and externals. Inspectors can log subcontractor responsibility by trade (carpenter, plasterer, joinery, painter, waterproofing, tiler, flooring, electrician, plumber, HVAC, bricklayer, concreter, fencing, landscaping, roofing), describe each defect, attach photo evidence, and note general issues throughout. Use it to document findings, assign rectification tasks, and verify quality before handover.

Construction Site Handover Inspection Template
This construction site handover inspection template supports the final sign off before client handover. Supervisors verify completed works against the agreed scope across exterior, entrances and corridors, bedrooms, living areas, bathrooms, kitchen, toilet, laundry, garage, and rear and side externals. The checklist also confirms the site is clean, spare paint is stored, and all paperwork such as new asset sheets is complete. Use this template to document findings, flag actions, and capture supervisor name, signature, and date to ensure a smooth, one visit handover.
