Greenbank handovers are where the finishes are measured against the drawings and the QBCC Standards and Tolerances Guide. The joinery is checked for clearances, painted over joints are found, and tile adhesive can be seen. We confirm the driveway is laid to levels, the lawns are graded, and the site is swept clean of debris.
