The building inspection is an important date. It takes some preparation. What builders have to consider so that they don't have any problems later.

Berlin (dpa / tmn) - Before handing over the keys, builders should carefully check the performance of a building contractor. You have to list exactly what still has to be done before the acceptance of the construction - that is, outstanding services and defects to be remedied.

The Builder's Protection Association (BSB) advises this. It is important that builders keep a very small acceptance protocol during acceptance. All parties should also sign the document.

Builders should also make sure that they receive all the agreed documents and technical evidence from the building contractor during the building inspection. According to the BSB, acceptance of the construction means that the client approves the work performed as essentially finished and free of defects.

The complete and technically correct documentation of all defects can help builders in a later legal dispute.
