You’ve managed to secure the “handover” note from your contractor – congrats! However, don’t sign the documents yet, though, wait one very important step: a Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI).
A PDI is one means to guarantee that the builder gave what they offered — both in kind and in detail.
That’s why it’s worth your time:
Catch Finishing Faults Early: Look out for cracked tiles, patches of paint, substandard plastering, or misplaced fittings before you move in.
Make Sure All Utilities Are Functional: Check electric points, switches, water lines, and plumbing fixtures.
Avoid Post-handover Hassles: Getting the builder to fix defects after the signing of the agreement is difficult.
Peace of Mind: You live in your new home with the peace of mind that everything is secure and right.
Requesting a professional inspector to handle a PDI brings in the expertise and objectivity — nothing is skipped due to haste or eagerness.
