SCOPE AND COSTS
Agree the work before it begins.
Your total quote includes Baanward’s fee and all legal and technical specialist fees for the agreed work. We confirm access, visits, specialist availability, reports, timing and any travel costs. Extra work or spending outside that scope requires your approval.
Can someone inspect my condo at handover if I cannot attend?+
Yes, where agreed and available. We can arrange an authorised representative or independent specialist, subject to the developer’s access and any contract requirements. Our lawyer advises how inspection deadlines affect your rights. A handover visit is not a structural survey unless our technical specialist’s assessment is agreed.
What if I find defects after I take over?+
Report them as soon as you find them. Our lawyer advises how the contract and applicable warranty rights apply, and we can record the defects and follow up with the developer within your agreed scope.
Is a handover inspection the same as a structural survey?+
No. It records visible condition and workmanship. A structural or engineering assessment is separate and comes from our technical specialist where agreed.
How early should I contact you?+
As soon as you receive the completion notice. Inspection periods can be short, so earlier contact gives us time to review the contract with our lawyer and arrange attendance.
