What happens during the Practical Completion Stage of your new home or renovation?

The stage of Practical Completion represents the finish of your project, and it’s also a contractual stage that’s essential to understand.

In this episode, we talk about the Practical Completion Stage.

This stage represents the completion of your project, and it’s also a contractual point which then triggers a series of other activities and processes required to complete your project, get it signed off with the authorities and deem it fit for you to move back into.

And, because it’s a contractual step and process, you, as the homeowner, really need to understand your rights, responsibilities and obligations.

We discuss where your project should be at by now, the things to be aware of as your builder gets ready to leave site and what to expect from your builder in their communication and planning.

Many homeowners believe they can withhold payment from their builder as leverage to complete a project. Or they let the builder leave site without completing all defects. Both can present large risks to the owner for various reasons. Homeowners simply don’t understand what their role is during this stage, or how their builder should be managing this point of the build.

It’s important you understand exactly what should happen during this stage to protect yourself, and get the finished home you’ve paid for, and been waiting for all this time!
