Megahedge vs the builder's handover inspection

Many builders run a handover inspection and keep their own snag list. It is useful, and it is the builder's. An independent check is commissioned and owned by you.

Fair is fair

When the builder's own snag list is enough.

  • The builder's snag list is thorough and you trust the site team
  • You only need electrical, carpentry and finish snags, which we don't cover

Questions buyers ask

Ask an inspector

Will the builder accept your report?

The report is numbered and located so a site engineer can act on each finding. Whether a builder accepts it is up to them; the RERA route exists if they don't act.

Do you argue with the site engineer?

No. We record and report. The conversation is yours.

Can I use both?

Yes, and that is common: the builder's list for finishes, ours for damp and seepage.

Find the damp before you pay for it.
