Organise renovation handover documents, equipment and open issues
Separate completed items, equipment information, warranty arrangements and open issues at handover. Connect document versions to the actual materials and work locations for later follow-up.
Separate completed work from open matters
Reconcile handover against the work scope and variation history, recording completed and outstanding items. Keep visible observations separate from professional inspection results; a completion label does not replace the supporting record.
List equipment models, manuals, warranty contacts and promised documents separately. Record mismatches between documents and installed items, ask the responsible party to clarify them, and assign custody of originals.
Match handover documents to installed items
Mark missing documents and unanswered matters pending rather than completed.
| Item | Record | Follow-up |
|---|---|---|
| Work | Scope, variations and completion | List outstanding items |
| Equipment | Installed model and instructions | Match documents to items |
| Warranty | Term, conditions and contact | Keep the agreed version |
| Documents | Originals, copies and custody | Record missing items |
Example: the equipment model differs from its document
An installed model differs from the manual received. Photograph its marking, link it to the handover item and request the corresponding document. Keep correctly received documents separate from the missing item.
Records to retrieve after handover
