A better construction handover checklist
Handover should leave completed work, clear records, closed responsibilities, and a path for what comes next.
Handover should leave completed work, clear records, closed responsibilities, and a path for what comes next.
Handover is the completed work, the inspections, the warranties you are entitled to, and a punch list that is either closed or dated.
The owner should be able to find the agreed scope, the changes, and who to call if something in that scope fails.
A keys-and-walkthrough meeting is not a substitute for that file. Both belong at the end of the job.
Bring the location, the type of work, and the start window to a consultation. The Dallas office replies within one business day.
