- Selections and Upgrades: Bring a copy of your selections or any upgrades you’ve made to ensure they have been implemented correctly.
- Power Testing Tools: Have something to plug in, such as your phone charger, to test power points and electrical installations.
- Camera/Phone: Use your phone to take photos during the inspection to document any findings.
