Construction Turnover Process
Turnover is the practical handoff from construction to operations. It should connect closeout documentation with the owner teams responsible for using and maintaining the facility.
Process steps
- Step 1
Define turnover requirements
Confirm systems, spaces, documents, training, keys, attic stock, and asset data required by contract.
- Step 2
Sequence by system or area
Organize turnover around phased occupancy, inspections, commissioning, and owner operations needs.
- Step 3
Collect operating information
Gather O&M manuals, warranties, startup reports, test records, asset lists, and maintenance data.
- Step 4
Train owner teams
Schedule training with facility managers, maintenance staff, vendors, and commissioning agents.
- Step 5
Verify acceptance
Record accepted items, open issues, final locations, and owner signoff before final closeout.
