Handover compares the completed work with the agreement. Prepare a room-by-room and element-by-element review.
How to review the result
Check both completed work and preparations for the next phase. Record which connections are deliberately temporary and when they will be reassessed.
Use the agreed scope
Bring proposals, drawings and recorded changes. Check the described work, visible finishing and operation.
What the drawing needs to explain
Create a phase drawing with three colours: repair now, improve later and investigate first. Mark where phases meet, such as roof edges, service routes and finished floors.
Allow for later maintenance
Update the maintenance record after each phase. Keep photographs of concealed elements and note which investigation questions remain open.
Questions for your own property
- Are changes included?
- Is each item clearly located?
- Are instructions and care records available?
Illustrative design situations, not evidence of completed work. Assess decisions against the actual property.
