Reception of a turnkey house delivered after 18 months of construction. The developer was pushing for a quick signature, file of more than 600 pages, sensitive technical points on roof and thermal envelope. Our intervention: preparatory visit 3 weeks before the date, full reading of the technical specifications, upfront identification of vigilance points. On the day: 4h30 on site, 34 reservations recorded including 6 major. 5 % retention legitimately blocked. Lifting plan negotiated within 90 days, everything resolved by deadline. Estimated avoided cost: €14,000 in post-reception remediation.
Local page : Wavre → First purchase for a young couple, classic VEFA file in central Liège, 38-unit building. Mission: demystify the Breyne Law procedure from the preparatory meeting, secure the reception on sensitive points of a new flat (acoustics between units, dual-flow ventilation, common/private connections, EPC compliance). On the day: 3h visit, room-by-room methodology, 22 reservations recorded including a major shortcoming on the VMC flow rate. All lifted in 120 days, retention released, serene move-in.
Complex file: an investor simultaneously receives 4 units in a deeply renovated Brussels building. Four receptions in two days, different technical perimeters per unit, acoustic stakes between units particularly sensitive in Brussels. Our approach: a dedicated expert per unit, overall supervision, consolidated report. Outcome: 67 reservations total, 11 major. Grouped retention blocked, staggered lifting over 6 months, file closed without dispute.
Classic hybrid case: new extension attached to a deeply renovated house. Complex contractual boundary between new-build ten-year guarantee perimeter and standard renovation perimeter. Our main contribution was legal: precisely qualify what falls under ten-year liability and what falls under perfect completion, to protect the buyer for the next 10 years. Retention released at 75 days, exemplary file.
