Handover & defects · At practical completion

# Handover & defects 3D capture.

A complete, dated 3D record of the building at practical completion, plus documented rectification of defects. The condition on the day you handed over, on file.

**Quick answer** Handover and defects capture records a building’s condition at practical completion, and any documented defects, in 3D, with everything behind the plaster still measurable. It gives the builder and owner a dated reference if a claim comes up later.

- **Single visit** Captured in one pass
- **Dated** Timestamped record
- **Any device** Shared on a link
- **24–36 hr** Standard delivery

## Practical completion isn’t the end of your exposure. It’s the start of it.

The defect liability period runs for months, sometimes years, after you hand over the keys. Every claim raised in that window gets argued against whatever record exists of how the building left your hands.

If that record is a folder of photos, the arguments are about what the photos didn’t capture. Was that mark there at handover, or did it happen after?

A dated capture at PC is the reference point for everything that follows.

## What goes on record.

### Full as-built condition

The finished building at practical completion, room by room.

### Defects in context

Located within the model, not described in a list.

### Rectification records

Before and after the fix, dated.

### Finishes & fit-out

Surfaces, fixtures and joinery, as delivered.

## What handover capture delivers.

- 01 The condition on the day you handed over
- 02 Defects, located and dated
- 03 Rectification, before and after
- 04 An as-built record for the owner

01 / 04

### The condition on the day you handed over

The whole building, room by room, as it left your hands. The reference every later claim is measured against.

02 / 04

### Defects, located and dated

Every defect captured in place, in context, with the rest of the building around it. No more chasing a location description across a spreadsheet. Open the model, and there it is.

03 / 04

### Rectification, before and after

Capture the defect, then capture the fix. A dated pair that shows the work was done and done properly, without a site visit to confirm it.

04 / 04

### An as-built record for the owner

The handover model isn’t only a defects tool. It’s a permanent record of the finished building the owner keeps, for warranties, insurance, future works and facility management.

## Plain answers.

01Why use 3D capture for final handover?

A final 3D capture records the property’s exact condition at practical completion. It gives the builder and owner a clear, dated reference if damage or defect claims are raised after the keys are handed over.

02How does 3D scanning help with defect management?

Site teams and remote project managers get a complete, interactive model of the space, so trades can locate, review and clear specific defects before official sign-off.
