Building inspection: not just a technical step

The building inspection is a legally relevant process in which the client confirms that the contractually agreed construction work has been performed in accordance with the contract. Among other things, the inspection marks the start of the limitation period for claims for defects in accordance with Section 634a of the German Civil Code (BGB), and the burden of proof for any defects is reversed in favor of the contractor.

Statistical surveys show that around 35% of all construction defects or damage occur at the time of acceptance or within the first year after completion. This highlights the need for careful and systematic inspection of the construction work immediately prior to acceptance.
