Completion, Handover & Defects-Period Protection
The defects position, verified and recorded, before retention is dealt with.
What this is
Snagging, handover-pack verification and defects-period inspection. SmartBuild records which defects are closed and which remain open, and verifies that the milestones the contract relies on have been met.
Retention is a mechanism of your building contract. It is held, governed and released by the parties to that contract — SmartBuild does not hold it, does not govern it and does not release it. What SmartBuild provides is the verified evidence those parties act on.
What you receive
- ✓Snagging and punch-list oversight
- ✓Handover-pack verification
- ✓Verification of the defects position at each inspection through to defects-period close
What this is not
- !SmartBuild verifies the certificates exist and are valid; it does not issue them
- !SmartBuild does not hold, govern or release retention — that sits with the parties to the building contract
