So, the moment is approaching, the arrival of which the customer of the construction of a brick house / renovation of an apartment from scratch could not believe - this is the procedure for handing over / receiving the object.
The owner of the new home is already looking forward to the completion of all the tolls: after all, such important stages as construction/finishing work, connecting engineering systems/communications, and even a free interior design have been completed - it would seem that all that remains is to put an end, i.e. to accept the object! But that was not the case... After all, there are still a lot of questions that many owners of newly built real estate have yet to face.
Pitfalls of the operation called "Acceptance/handover of the object"
1. The contractor suddenly significantly increases the estimate of the final stage of the works.
To prevent such trouble, you should:
- carefully prepare a contract - a contract
- work with a construction company/apartment renovation firm only within the framework of this contract, which clearly regulates all changes to the estimate.
2. The customer has to correct defects at his own expense.
Such an unpleasant surprise is possible if the contract did not specify the maximum length of payment terms for construction or repair. Therefore, it should be specified in a separate clause that the final settlement will take place only after the delivery of the object. Otherwise, the customer will be forced to correct the entire volume of defects at his own expense.
And no obvious evidence of deficiencies in the work of the organization for repairing apartments or building a house will help, because, according to clause 2 of Article 705 of the Town Planning Code, the customer is obliged to accept the object as soon as possible after the contractor has officially announced the completion of the work.
3. State supervision structures suddenly point out that the object does not comply with sanitary standards or fire safety requirements, and even define the object as a "self-build" altogether.
Only one tool will help calm the agitated local control bodies - a set of permitting documents scrupulously prepared in advance, for example, such as town planning calculation. Permits for all types of work must be certified by the signatures of specialized specialists of all supervisory bodies.
Accuracy in these moments will give you the opportunity to save yourself from the long red tape of the design of your new building, which means it will save you a lot of time and money, which, as you know, are not superfluous.
