Owner Feedback & Facility Handover

The handover process marks the formal transfer of ownership, operation, and responsibility to the client.

1. Handover Steps

  • Pre-Handover Meeting – Final review of punch lists and documentation.
  • Demonstration & Training – Educate the owner’s staff on equipment operation and maintenance.
  • Formal Handover – Submission of keys, manuals, certificates, and warranty files.
  • Acceptance Sign-Off – Owner verifies readiness and issues final acceptance.
  • Defect Liability Period (DLP) – Contractor remains responsible for rectifying defects within the warranty duration.

2. Owner Feedback Process

  • Conduct structured handover surveys for satisfaction rating.
  • Record feedback on quality, responsiveness, and documentation.
  • Use findings to refine project management and client engagement practices.

3. Facility Transition

  • Develop a Facility Operations Manual (FOM) for the owner.
  • Ensure handover aligns with the FM team’s readiness and asset tagging.
  • Support the client for initial maintenance and troubleshooting.
“A smooth handover is not the end of construction — it’s the beginning of client trust.”
