How Doors & Windows Inspection Saves You Money

1

Early Detection = Builder Responsibility

When defects are detected before possession, builders are legally obligated to fix them at no cost to you. Once you take possession and start interior work, repairs become your financial responsibility.

2

Avoid Expensive Rework

Issues discovered after interior work begins require demolishing finished surfaces. Professional inspection catches defects early, avoiding costly rework and disruption after you move in.

3

RERA-Backed Documentation

Our detailed inspection report with photographic evidence gives you strong grounds to demand builder rectification under RERA guidelines — at zero additional cost to you.

Potential Savings

₹30,000 - ₹1,00,000

Professional doors & windows inspection costs a fraction of what repairs would cost after possession. Catch issues early, save significantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a doors & windows inspection for a new flat include?

Our inspection covers operational checks of all doors and windows for smooth movement; frame alignment verification; lock and latch functionality testing; weatherstripping and sealing inspection; glass integrity checks; frame condition assessment for warping or damage; hardware inspection; and security compliance verification.

Why do I need a doors & windows inspection before taking possession?

New apartments often have doors that don't close properly, windows with sealing gaps, misaligned frames, faulty locks, or warped frames. These issues cause security risks, air infiltration, water ingress during rain, and energy loss. Builders are obligated to fix these before possession.

What are common door defects found during inspection?

Common door defects include misaligned frames causing difficulty closing or latching, warped doors that don't sit flush, faulty lock mechanisms, missing door stops, damaged hinges, gaps between door and frame, and improper door closer operation in fire doors.

What window defects do you look for during inspection?

Window defects we check include gaps in frame sealing causing water ingress, misaligned sashes, faulty locking handles, cracked or damaged glass, missing weatherstripping, improper sliding mechanism, stuck windows, and frame gaps that allow air or insect infiltration.

Can door & window issues affect energy efficiency?

Absolutely. Gaps in door and window sealing are the primary cause of air infiltration in apartments, significantly increasing air conditioning costs. Proper sealing also prevents moisture ingress during monsoons, which can cause wall damage and mold growth over time.

Do you check balcony doors and external windows separately?

Yes, external doors and windows receive special attention as primary entry points for water ingress. We check sealing quality, frame installation integrity, drainage channels in window sills, and weatherstripping condition — with particular care for balcony doors and external-facing windows.
