Handover compares the completed work with the agreement. Prepare a room-by-room and element-by-element review.
How to review the result
Use the room book as a handover checklist. Review transitions first and individual products afterwards; a fully supplied room can still have a missing junction.
Use the agreed scope
Bring proposals, drawings and recorded changes. Check the described work, visible finishing and operation.
Make outstanding items actionable
Record each item's location, description and agreed next step. Include photographs where useful.
What the drawing needs to explain
Use the same room and detail numbers on drawings and in the room book. Identify the approved revision for each item and which supplier still needs to provide information.
Allow for later maintenance
Organise product and care information by the same room structure. Documentation then remains useful when only one element is replaced later.
A situation to test your plan against
During a multi-room renovation, choices are often made supplier by supplier. A room book brings them back into one home: consistent names, dimensions and material agreements for every room. Conflicting assumptions then become visible earlier.
Questions for your own property
- Are changes included?
- Is each item clearly located?
- Are instructions and care records available?
