Client Takeover and Warranty Review

During the Client Takeover and Warranty Review phase the building reaches the final stages of construction and installation of finishes and after the final reviews and issuance of the final payment, the project is handed over to the owner, as it is ready for occupancy.

Takeover procedures are a basic service which allow for a smooth and orderly transition of the building in to the owner’s hands. Services provided in this phase include the issuance of many important documents, such as the final Certificate for Payment, along with the release of the remaining construction lien holdback monies for the final amount.

After take-over, during the one-year warranty period, the architect inspects the building and notifies the contractor of any defects and deficiencies which must be corrected. If requested, commissioning services may be provided by a third party to manage and verify the performance of all the components of the building’s operation.
