Office handover and move-in readiness

The construction handover and the team’s first working day are related but separate milestones.

Review completed work, outstanding items, applicable inspection records and operating information. Coordinate furniture, IT and access arrangements with the responsible suppliers. Test the agreed systems before relying on them for business operations. Keep a clear list of remaining actions and who owns each one.

Bring these details into the conversation

• Walk the agreed scope
• Collect relevant records and manuals
• Coordinate operational testing and remaining tasks

Make the assumptions visible

Keep the current drawings, scope and selections together. Mark what is confirmed, what is an allowance and what needs further assessment. Decisions are easier to compare when the same information is available to everyone involved in the project.

Agree the next step

Identify the person responsible for the next action and any decision or document needed first. Record changes in writing with their effect on scope, price and timing. This creates a more useful project record than relying on a sequence of informal conversations.

For local preparation, see the Etobicoke planning guides. For a budget starting point, explore scope and pricing.
