Ireland—Report on construction documentation

Ireland—Report on construction documentation Report on construction documentation This Precedent is a template for a due diligence report on construction documentation to be provided to a purchaser in relation to the potential purchase of a property. The template has been drafted on the basis that the construction work at the property has reached practical completion. It sets out the key elements of the building contract and related documents (appointments, warranties, security documents, etc) that should typically be covered in the report.
