Specifications: ensure everything is as per specification mentioned by the builder. Such as whether the doors and windows are placed as per the floor plan, whether they are opening and closing smoothly or not. Do check the quality of the materials like doors door knobs, window panels, tiles, fittings, furniture, electrical switch boards etc. Also, there are a lot of amenities that a builder promise to give such as power back up, garden, children play area and much more, so do inquire about these as well.
