Turn the final walkthrough into a structured handover decision.

Turn the final walkthrough into a structured handover decision.

Renovation handover often arrives with pressure to close the job, release payment and start using the home. DPM records what is visibly complete, what needs clarification and what remains outstanding while correction is still practical.

How it works

From uncertainty to a clearer decision

01

Prepare the references

Share the renovation scope, drawings, variation records, earlier evidence and contractor handover list where available.

02

Review completed work

DPM records accessible workmanship and normal functional response where the agreed scope authorises it.

03

Organise the handover

Use the evidence to separate accepted items, corrections, clarifications and matters needing specialist advice.

What you can decide after the inspection

A current visible-condition record that supports a clearer handover discussion before acceptance or final-payment decisions.

  • Which visible items appear complete or need discussion
  • Which areas were inaccessible, concealed or not ready
  • Which questions require correction, clarification or specialist input

Does the inspection certify the renovation?

No. It records accessible observable conditions within the confirmed scope. Statutory certification and specialist compliance require the appropriate authority.

Should the contractor attend?

Attendance depends on the homeowner's handover arrangement. The property should be accessible and sufficiently complete for the agreed checks.

Can DPM confirm concealed waterproofing or wiring?

Not through a general visible-condition inspection. Concealed systems require suitable records, authorised testing or specialist investigation.

Is this useful without a pre-renovation inspection?

It can still record the current visible condition. A pre-work baseline makes attribution and change comparison clearer.
