Ghost Snags
The snags earlier buyers found haunt the unit until an inspector clears them.
The job
Checks the defects earlier buyers of the same layout and floor position reported after handover before the next buyer walks in, so no one finds a known problem again. It proves this with fewer defects per unit and dollars saved per tower.
The moment
Before a buyer receives a new unit, inspectors check the defects that earlier buyers of the same layout reported after handover. These known defects show as ghost pins on a floor plan.
At the readiness meeting, the handover manager shows layout C had 6.1 buyer-reported defects per unit in Tower 8. In Tower 9, after inspectors cleared the known ones, it had 1.4, saving $310,000 in repeat visits.
The one defect that still gets through, the balcony door seal, turns solid red and is escalated as a design fault, not poor workmanship.
A buyer's shared certificate is read out: the balcony seal was checked because 8 earlier owners in the same position on other floors had this problem.
