The full room by room list, taken while the final payment is still yours.
Two safety clusters define the Leppington handover set. Seven downlights in one house with insulation packed against them, which is a fire risk sitting above a finished ceiling. Three first floor windows without the opening restrictor the Code requires, which is a fall risk a child could find. Beyond those: flashings poorly installed in four locations, a control joint changing height mid wall, an undersized gutter sump and a fitting inside the zone around a basin.

Seven in the one roof space. Insulation goes in from above and the fittings from below, on different days by different trades, and neither sees the other's work.
Because a fall from a first floor window is a different order of consequence to a paint run. Safety items get their own listing and their own urgency.
Yes. It marks each item complete, partly complete or still open, and that record goes with you to the handover meeting.
Dozens is ordinary. The figure worth reading is how it divides structurally against cosmetically.
Every line identifies the clause, tolerance or standard it falls short of. Where it cannot be settled, NSW Fair Trading comes first and NCAT after.
Two to three weeks ahead of handover, so the builder can rectify and you can verify.
