This practical completion inspection checklist helps builders, supervisors, and homeowners confirm a new build is ready for handover. It covers exterior works, council assets, roofing, cladding, painting and plaster quality, internal fix, flooring and cabinetry, bedrooms and robes, bathrooms and wet areas (including caulking and drainage), laundry, kitchen and appliances, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and NBN. The template references NCC/BCA, Australian Standards, and QBCC Standards and Tolerances, with prompts for photos, serial numbers, compliance checks, and documenting defects. It also includes acknowledgement and handover steps, keys and remotes, and maintenance notes for post-settlement defects.
