färdigbesiktning

Färdigbesiktning, which translates to final inspection or completion inspection, is a crucial stage in many construction and renovation projects. It is the final walk-through of a completed building or work to identify any defects or unfinished items before the final payment is made and the project is officially handed over to the client. This inspection is typically conducted by an independent inspector or a representative of the client, often accompanied by the contractor.

The purpose of a färdigbesiktning is to ensure that the work has been completed according to the agreed-upon contract, specifications, and building codes. During the inspection, both parties meticulously examine all aspects of the project, from structural elements to finishes and functional systems like plumbing and electrical. Any deviations from the plan, poor workmanship, or incomplete tasks are documented in a formal report.

This report serves as a list of items that the contractor is obligated to rectify or complete before the final acceptance of the work. The client typically withholds the final payment until all agreed-upon adjustments are made to their satisfaction. This process is designed to protect the client's interests and ensure they receive a fully functional and satisfactory end product. In some cases, a preliminary inspection may be conducted before the final one to allow the contractor time to address minor issues.
