Project Handover Checklist Before Final Payment.

Before handover, review visible defects, incomplete works, testing and commissioning, manuals, warranties, as-built information, keys, equipment, final cleaning and outstanding commercial items.

Final payment and retention release should follow the actual contract and verified closeout status.
