Check stud alignment and fixings at 600 mm, bathrooms and kitchens at 400 mm, deflection head details, and specified plasterboard types. Ensure party to external junctions are sealed, fire and acoustic mastic applied, corners are square, and all openings are formed correctly. Verify noggins, screed and head strips, clear the plot for handover, and capture signatures with photo evidence.
