Here’s a concise overview of the standard house acceptance procedure based on industry best practices:
Standard House Acceptance Procedure
1. Pre-Inspection Preparation
- Review Documents:
- Completion Acceptance Filing Form
- Residential Quality Warranty & User Manual
- Area measurement report (vs. contract)
- Utility certificates (water/electricity/gas)
- Tools: Tape measure, socket tester, level, hollow hammer, flashlight, notepad, camera.
2. On-Site Inspection
| Area | Key Checks |
|---|---|
| Structure | • Walls/floors/ceiling: Cracks, hollows, water stains • Doors/windows: Smooth operation, sealing, glass integrity • Ceiling height (measure) |
| Utilities | • Electrical: Socket function, circuit breaks, panel safety • Plumbing: Water pressure, drainage leaks, pipe condition • Gas: Leak test (by professional) |
| Waterproofing | • 24-hour water seal test (bathroom/kitchen/balcony) • Drain slope efficiency (no pooling) |
| Finishes & Fixtures | • Material quality (match contract specs) • Appliance installation (brand/model verification) |
| Public Areas | • Stairs/elevators/fire exits (safety compliance) • Shared facilities (as per plan) |
3. Issue Documentation & Resolution
- Record Defects: Photograph/video + detailed notes (e.g., “Kitchen sink pipe leakage at joint”).
- Sign Confirmation: Require developer/property manager to acknowledge issues in writing.
- Demand Repairs: Set deadline (typically 15–30 days) for fixes.
- Re-inspect: Verify all repairs before acceptance.
4. Final Acceptance
- Sign Documents: Only after defects are resolved.
- Collect Keys: Obtain all access devices/property certificates.
Critical Reminders
⚠️ Never sign acceptance papers before inspection
⚠️ Major defects (e.g., structural cracks): Demand third-party inspection + legal action if unresolved
? Hire a professional inspector (cost: ¥200–500) for expert assessment, especially for:
- Renovated units: Tile alignment, paint finishes, cabinet installation
- Bare-shell units: Hidden piping, structural integrity
This process ensures compliance with national standards (e.g., GB 50300 Construction Quality Acceptance) and protects buyer rights. Always cross-check against your purchase contract for specific obligations.
