French CCMI acceptance: record defects

Formal acceptance of a house built under a French CCMI requires comparing the completed works with the plans and specifications. Record identifiable reservations in the acceptance document. Professional assistance, key delivery and the defects observed affect what follows. Keep a promised repair separate from a repair actually inspected: the organiser records progress without certifying completion or calculating a statutory deadline.
