Provisional acceptance is the official act by which the project owner declares acceptance of the work performed, while issuing certain reservations if necessary.

It takes place at the end of the project, once the contractor considers the work to be complete and in accordance with the specifications.

It is a transition phase between the construction and operation of the building.

It has several important consequences:

• it transfers custody of the building from the builder to the project owner,
• it triggers legal warranties, in particular the ten-year warranty,
• It initiates the one-year warranty period, known as the warranty of perfect completion, during which the contractor must correct any reported defects.

A poorly prepared or botched handover can have serious consequences: disputes, costly repairs, delays in renting or operating the property.

That is why it is essential to approach it methodically and rigorously.

A careful audit during provisional acceptance allows you to:

• verify that the work complies with the plans, specifications, and applicable standards,
• detect anomalies or defects before acceptance,
• draw up a detailed report mentioning any reservations,
• secure contractual relationships between project owners, contractors, and subcontractors,
• prepare for final acceptance one year later with complete peace of mind.

• Independent technical expertise: we operate independently of construction companies.
• Rigorous methodology: systematic inspection of sensitive areas (waterproofing, structure, safety, finishes).
• Comprehensive support: from preparing for acceptance to the removal of reservations.
• Long-term vision: our reports facilitate maintenance, technical management, and long-term asset valuation.

Our mission: to ensure that your project is delivered in compliance with specifications, secure, and sustainable.
