Three inspection priorities in South Africa
Use these as a briefing prompt, then agree the instruction, access and any specialist scope before the visit.
1.Map the sectional-title boundary before reporting
In sectional-title schemes, a defect may be inside a section, on a common area or connected to shared infrastructure. Record the unit, balcony, roof or service location precisely and note the visible boundary. The report can support a discussion with the body corporate; it does not decide liability.
2.Capture exposure and drainage conditions by site
South African properties span very different rainfall, wind and temperature conditions. Note the elevation, roof or ground conditions, drainage path and recent weather when moisture or external deterioration is observed. This makes the evidence more useful than applying a single national explanation to every site.
3.Keep handover evidence separate from warranty assessment
Dated snagging records can help at new-home handover, but NHBRC and municipal processes have their own criteria and evidence. Record the observed item, photo and access limitation, then identify which drawings, approvals or specialist checks remain outstanding. Do not describe the report as a warranty assessment.
Local standards & frameworks
Building work in South Africa is governed by the National Building Regulations and the SANS 10400 series, and new homes fall under the NHBRC (National Home Builders Registration Council) warranty scheme — making dated snagging and condition records valuable at handover. The Green Star SA rating may also be referenced. Confirm the requirements that apply to the property and tenure.
