Complete a detailed inspection against plans, specification, approved variations and inventory. Test water, drainage, power, air conditioning, appliances, pool, internet, smart systems, gates and security. Record defects with photographs and deadlines. Collect permits, warranties, manuals, keys, passwords, as-built drawings and supplier contacts. Final payment should follow the agreed contract process, not pressure on the day. Put specifications, permissions, milestones and remedies into the contract rather than relying on verbal assurances. It is strongest when the examples, local context and current checks line up.
