Mixing pre-acceptance and acceptance
Your walk-through is only preparation. Only with acceptance does the risk transfer to you and the periods for defect claims start. Separate the two in your schedule.
Pre-acceptance later: use the time until then well
The earlier you have a structure, the calmer your own walk-through will be. Use the time now for lists, documents and dates — not just the week before acceptance.
Typical mistakes in preparation
No fixed date for your own walk-through
Without a date, pre-acceptance often slips to the day before the official appointment. Exactly when calm is missing.
Looking for documents only on walk-through day
Drawings, remaining-work lists and earlier photos should be ready beforehand. Do not just gather them on the way.
Only appearance in mind
Deliberately plan function checks and plant rooms too. Do not just pay attention to visible surfaces.
What to prepare now for later pre-acceptance
Fix your own walk-through 1-2 weeks before acceptance
Set your own walk-through at least 1-2 weeks before the official appointment. This leaves time to document issues without pressure.
Create a room and trade list
Create a simple table: one room per row, plus technical areas (heating, plumbing, electrical). Space on the right for notes.
Collect existing photos and drawings
Find an overview photo from the construction phase for each room. Pay special attention to pipes and connections that are covered today.
Note first observations already
Anything you already notice belongs on a provisional list. Later you will expand this systematically.
