In short: What a thin practical completion list actually tells you.
Why we say so
It would be easy to pad the page. The honest reading is that the weight of these jobs' findings came earlier.
What that implies
Spend at frame, lock-up and waterproofing. A short handover list is what a well inspected build looks like at the end.
Still worth doing
Yes, because the list must exist in writing before you pay, or it becomes a warranty claim afterwards.
What it does not mean
That handover inspections are optional. You cannot know in advance that the list will be short.
