Turnover acceptance should compare the final condition with the approved work, not with memory. Combine the turnover photo log and scope drift log before the decision.
Quick Overview
Freeze the approved scope and all authorized changes. For each item, record completion evidence, inspection result, exception, responsible party, and acceptance status. Keep unrelated improvements outside the original job.
Common Mistakes
An invoice, vendor message, or photo can support one claim but does not automatically prove the full scope passed. Do not hide partial work inside a completed project status.
Common Questions Answered
Administrative reviewers can assemble the packet and flag differences. Technical adequacy, safety, contract interpretation, and payment approval stay with qualified, authorized roles.
Ready to Record Final Acceptance
The accepting person should identify the scope version and evidence reviewed. Open exceptions need explicit treatment, ownership, and dates rather than silent acceptance.
