2) Tiles & Floor
The Tiles & Floor include kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, floor tiles and cornices.
Tiles - Missing/Cracked/Chipped/Slanting
Missing and damaged Tiles & Floor are easy to spot for defects. However it's not easy to check for hollow tiles which are due too little plaster underneath.
The danger is the tiles can come off or crack if not remedied. Tap on tiles and if they sound hollow mark it out as a defect anyway and get the contractor to fix it.
Also make sure that the joints between the tiles are properly filled in with plaster. If you notice deep gaps make sure they fill it in.
Gaps in the Wall Skirting
Not many other defects on the tiles everything is fine as far as I can tell!
3) Doors & Windows
Doors and Windows are fairly easy to check. Ensure that doors and windows easily open and unobstructed. Check for shoddy workmanship like missing screws, damage and rust.
Also ensure that everything is properly installed and there are no large gaps between the door and window frames. It's also a good time to check for water damage since windows not properly installed will leak during heavy downpour.
Check also that rubber seals for the windows are intact.
4) Miscellaneous Fixtures
Check the developer's inventory list for missing fixtures and accessories. You'll usually get a list of items that come with your home such as the number of electrical points, taps, sink, shower heads and etc.
Check the list thoroughly and make sure nothing is missing!

AFTER:
Yup the sink was missing
so was the wiring, seems some gawd damn thief carted away those items from our finished unit.
5) Leaking Pipes
Leaking Pipes are also easy to detect, check the exposed piping for leaks or walls where the pipes run through for water stains.
Query the developer on where the pipes in your unit are; in future it will help to prevent accidents due to accidental nailing or drilling. You don't want to hang a picture frame and puncture a pipe all in one go.
I'll end it here, I'll start inspecting more of the unit tomorrow and post extra pictures once I'm done.
Feel free to comment and suggestions/improvements are welcomed!
