The deficiency walk-through
Near completion, the owner, designer and contractor walk the space and list items to fix: paint touch-ups, door adjustments, missing hardware and so on. The contractor corrects them and the list is closed out.
Do this walk early enough to leave time for fixes.
Photograph each deficiency and note its location. It speeds correction and gives a clear record.
Testing and commissioning
Mechanical, electrical, fire alarm, emergency lighting and security systems are tested. Heating and cooling are balanced. Controls are verified against the design.
Because our own crews installed these systems, they know them well and can demonstrate how they operate.
We run internal checks before the owner walk, so most items are fixed before you see them.
Documents
Collect as-built drawings, permits, inspection reports, manuals, warranty certificates, attic stock of finishes and a contact list. Keep them in one place.
These matter for landlords, insurers and later renovations.
Confirm who holds the keys, codes and passwords at handover, and change defaults on any new systems.
Training
Show staff how to operate controls, alarms, access systems and equipment. A short session on day one avoids calls later. Provide simple guides for routine tasks, like filter changes.
Schedule training with the people who will use the systems, not only the manager, so knowledge does not sit with one person.
Warranty and follow-up
Know what warranty applies to which item, and how to report a problem. We stay reachable after handover, and a post-occupancy check after a few weeks catches issues you only notice with use.
Keep spare parts, such as paint, tile and ceiling panels, labelled and stored for future repairs.
Questions we hear
How long are deficiencies fixed?
Most are corrected within days, depending on parts and access.
Do you offer a follow-up visit?
Yes, we recommend a check a few weeks after you move in.
