Preparing for a new construction property before the inspection
Preparing for a new construction property inspection in Portugal involves specific steps to ensure that your investment is thoroughly evaluated for quality, safety, and compliance with all relevant standards. Here’s how property owners or investors should prepare for an inspection of their new construction:
Compile a List of Concerns
- Start Early with Construction Oversight. Engage with your construction team regularly to stay informed about the progress and any potential issues. Document any concerns related to construction quality, materials used, or deviations from the planned design.
- Detail Specific Concerns. Create a detailed list of specific areas or elements you’re concerned about based on your observations or construction progress reports. Statistics show that when property owners or investors provide a focused list of concerns, inspectors can address these directly, leading to a more efficient and satisfactory inspection process.
Ensure Accessibility
- Guarantee Complete Access. Confirm that the inspector has full access to the entire property, including any construction zones, locked areas, or technical rooms. Accessibility is crucial for a comprehensive inspection, as restricted access can result in overlooked issues.
- Communicate Special Features. Inform the inspector of any unique features of your property, such as sustainable building materials, advanced technological systems, or custom architectural elements. This ensures the inspector is prepared to evaluate these aspects effectively, with approximately 20% of new construction inspections requiring special equipment or expertise.
Understand the Scope
- Recognize the Inspection’s Focus. New construction inspections concentrate on verifying that the building meets all design specifications, building codes, and quality standards. This includes an assessment of structural integrity, workmanship quality, and the proper installation of systems.
- Anticipate Off-Plan Inspection Needs. If your property is still in the off-plan or under-construction phase, understand that the inspection will assess adherence to the project’s plans, timelines, and quality benchmarks, ensuring that every aspect of the construction aligns with your expectations.
Prepare Questions
- Formulate Informed Queries. Prepare a list of questions related to construction standards, any identified issues, and how they will be resolved. Inquiring about warranty coverage for workmanship and materials can also provide additional security for your investment.
- Seek Detailed Explanations. After the inspection, detailed discussions regarding any findings and their implications are invaluable. On average, engaging in these conversations can significantly increase your confidence in the construction quality and the corrective measures to be taken.
Inspection Day
- Consider Being Present. Witnessing the inspection allows you to see the inspector’s process, ask questions, and receive immediate feedback on the construction quality. While not always mandatory, being present is encouraged and can lead to a deeper understanding of your property’s condition.
- Follow Health and Safety Protocols. Ensure compliance with the latest health and safety regulations during the inspection, especially in the context of ongoing global health concerns. This may include wearing protective gear and maintaining social distancing.
What to expect during the new construction inspection?
The new construction inspection process in Portugal is a critical step for property owners and investors to ensure their newly built or under-construction properties meet all quality and compliance standards. This inspection is detailed and tailored to address the unique aspects of new constructions, focusing on both visible and underlying quality, safety, and adherence to the planned specifications.
01
Detailed Examination
Expect the inspection of a new construction to last anywhere from 2 to 4 hours, depending on the property’s size and complexity. A certified inspector will conduct a comprehensive review, focusing on construction quality, materials used, and the implementation of the building plans.
02
Structural Integrity and Compliance
The inspection will meticulously assess the structural integrity of the building, including foundations, framing, walls, and roofs. Special attention is given to ensure that the construction complies with Portuguese building codes and standards, which is crucial for new constructions to secure their longevity and safety.
03
Systems and Installations Check
A thorough examination of all critical systems will be performed. This includes the electrical system, plumbing, HVAC, and any installed technology or security systems, ensuring they are correctly installed and fully operational in accordance with the latest standards and technologies.
04
Interior and Exterior Review
PIDS inspection will scrutinize the interior and exterior workmanship, from the quality of finishes to the installation of windows and doors. Exterior aspects such as siding, balconies, and drainage systems will be evaluated for their execution and potential impact on the property’s durability, particularly important in Portugal’s varied climates.
05
Advanced Tools and Techniques
Given the nature of new constructions, inspectors utilize advanced tools such as digital levels, drones for roof inspections, and thermal imaging to identify any discrepancies in insulation, potential leaks, or structural anomalies not visible to the naked eye.
06
Owner’s Participation
Property owner is highly encouraged to be present during the inspection. This provides an invaluable opportunity to understand the construction quality, ask specific questions, and receive expert advice on maintenance and warranties directly from the inspector.
07
Comprehensive Report
Following the inspection, you will receive an extensive report that includes findings, photographs, and possibly videos of the inspection. This report details the construction quality, any issues found, and recommendations for addressing them, serving as a documentation of the property’s condition at the time of inspection.
08
Informed Decision-Making
Armed with the comprehensive insights from the inspection report, property owners and investors can engage in informed discussions with builders or contractors about any necessary corrections or improvements.
