Why Inspect While Under Warranty?

Some defects only appear after you move in and use the home. If you discover them after the warranty ends, you fix them at your own expense.

Waiting Without Inspection

  • You only notice defects once they get worse.
  • The warranty ends without you claiming anything.
  • You fix the defects at your own expense.
  • You have no technical report to claim from the contractor.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Final Handover Inspection.

When should I request the inspection?

After you move in, and before the contractor's first-year warranty ends. Book well before the warranty ends so you have time to claim from the contractor.

Who attends the inspection?

The Fahison team of 3-4 engineers and experts attends: a civil and finishing engineer to inspect accessible structural elements and finishes, and MEP engineers to inspect plumbing, drainage, air conditioning and electrical systems.

When will I receive the report?

Within 3-4 days of the visit.

What is the difference between this and the initial handover?

The initial handover is before you move in, so the contractor fixes the observations before handover. The final handover is after you move in and before the first-year warranty ends, to identify defects that appeared with use.

How does the report help me?

A complete technical report of the defects, which you use to claim repairs from the contractor at their expense during the warranty period.

Why is this your most expensive inspection?

Because it is our most comprehensive and time-consuming inspection. We inspect the entire villa inside and out with a team of 3-4 engineers and experts, each in their own specialty, and then prepare a detailed report with every observation documented with photos and recommended solutions. This takes more time both on site and in preparing the report.

How much does the inspection cost?

From AED 3499 for villas. Contact us and send the home details, and we will confirm the price.
