Handover compares the completed work with the agreement. Prepare a room-by-room and element-by-element review.
How to review the result
Check use with furniture, screening and doors in everyday positions. Assess daylight and the ability to screen the room in the evening.
Use the agreed scope
Bring proposals, drawings and recorded changes. Check the described work, visible finishing and operation.
What the drawing needs to explain
Draw fixed furniture, sightlines and opening windows together. Allow room for screening so it does not later obstruct cupboards, heaters or passages.
Allow for later maintenance
Keep window cleaning and controls accessible beside bespoke furniture. Retain drawings of removable parts so maintenance does not require unnecessary dismantling.
Questions for your own property
- Are changes included?
- Is each item clearly located?
- Are instructions and care records available?
