Acceptance of an apartment after renovation involves a thorough inspection. Choose a time when there is natural light in the room. This will help you see all the flaws and defects in the finish, if any.
You should definitely take a flashlight with you if your phone does not have one. Use it to inspect poorly lit areas. For example, a dark pantry, a place under the bathtub. All noticed flaws must be recorded.
At this stage, we check the quality of the work performed and their compliance with the design project. Acceptance of a turnkey renovation involves a thorough inspection of:
- All surfaces. Be sure to note how even they are. It is better to use a level for this. The ceiling should be free of defects and cracks, the floor should be level, with a neatly laid covering.
- Finishing. Make sure that the laminate or parquet does not creak or “breathe”. The joints between the tiles should be the same size, the tiles should be firmly glued, the linoleum should be without bubbles, and the walls should be perfectly even, otherwise there will be problems with installing the furniture set. If the surfaces are painted, there should be no visual defects: drips, build-ups.
- Plumbing and communications. To make sure they are working, turn on the water in the taps for a few minutes, activate the toilet flush. After that, carefully inspect all the pipes.
- Meters. Check their installation, this service can also be ordered. They should be in pre-agreed places, be sealed.
- Ventilation. This is an important point that should not be forgotten. To check, bring a match to the shaft opening, its flame should deflect. This is the easiest way to make sure that the ventilation is working.
Switches and sockets. Check their functionality and measure the voltage.
