Prepare the walk-through
Review the agreed drawings, specification and recorded variations before your visit. Bring a written checklist and record outstanding items by room. A visible finish review does not replace technical inspections required for your project.
Check operation as well as appearance
Discuss testing of doors, windows, switches, lights and plumbing fixtures with the responsible team. Note access to service points, keys and maintenance instructions. Where a specialist is needed, arrange the appropriate review rather than assuming a visual check is sufficient.
Close the loop in writing
Ask for relevant warranties, product information and agreed project documents. Record unresolved work, responsibility and a target follow-up date. Clarify whom to contact for maintenance enquiries and the terms that apply to aftercare.
What should I bring to a home handover?
Bring the agreed specification, recorded variations and a room-by-room checklist. Ask the team for the documents and maintenance information relevant to your project.
