After months of work, everyone is eager to hand over. But this is exactly the moment to stay focused.
- A written, closed snag list: every item with a photo, location and close-out date.
- Commissioning tests: electrical, HVAC, plumbing and alarm systems — tested and documented.
- As-built drawings: for every trade, because you will need them for any future maintenance.
- Warranties and O&M manuals: for materials and equipment, with supplier names and warranty periods.
- Final cleaning: take over a space that is genuinely clean and ready to use.
The supervising consultant leads this stage on the owner’s behalf and makes sure handover isn’t signed until it’s complete.
