Many homebuyers assume that a brand new property doesn’t need inspection. After all, it’s never been lived in — surely everything must be perfect? Unfortunately, this is one of the most dangerous assumptions in real estate. New builds are frequently delivered with hundreds of defects ranging from cosmetic snags to serious structural and safety issues.
Snagmash360 specializes in new build inspection services that protect your investment right from day one.
Why New Builds Often Have Defects
New properties accumulate defects due to:
- Construction speed over quality
- Multiple subcontractors with inconsistent quality standards
- Poor site supervision
- Material shortages leading to substitutions
- Last-minute rush to complete before handover
- Inadequate snagging by the builder
Studies consistently show that the average new build has 100+ defects at handover. A professional new build inspection catches these before you move in.
What Does a New Build Inspection Cover?
Snagmash360‘s new build inspection is a thorough assessment covering:
- Structural integrity and finish quality
- Waterproofing of roofs, terraces, and bathrooms
- Electrical installations and compliance
- Plumbing systems and water flow
- Tiling quality, flooring, and grouting
- Paint finish, plastering, and wall alignment
- Door and window operation and sealing
- Common areas (if apartment complex)
All findings are compiled into a snagging list with photographs.
When Is the Best Time for a New Build Inspection?
The best time for a new build inspection is before you take possession — ideally 1–2 weeks before the handover date. This gives developers time to rectify issues before the keys are handed over.
If you have already taken possession, a post-handover inspection is still valuable. Most developers offer a defect liability period (typically 1–5 years) during which they are obligated to fix defects.
What Happens After the Inspection?
After your new build inspection with Snagmash360, you receive:
- A comprehensive snagging report with photos
- A structured snag list to present to the developer
- Priority ratings for all defects
- Support in following up with the developer for rectification
- Optional re-inspection to verify all defects have been corrected
