Home Interior Handover Checklist
A handover walkthrough checks whether the agreed work is complete and usable. It is easier to inspect before cupboards are filled and furniture blocks access. Use the approved drawings and BOQ as your reference. Record each snag precisely, with a photograph and location, so that the team can understand what needs attention and confirm closure.

Inspect cabinetry and finishes
Open each shutter and drawer through its full movement. Check alignment, gaps, handles and contact with adjacent surfaces. Look at exposed edges, joints, panels and finish consistency in normal room light. Confirm that shelves and accessories are installed in the agreed positions. Check that protective films and installation debris are removed as appropriate. Avoid overloading storage during testing; follow the hardware and product guidance.
Review interfaces and services
Check access to valves, sockets, inspection panels and appliance connections. Ask qualified trades to demonstrate and document relevant electrical or plumbing checks. Inspect visible sealant and countertop junctions and report signs of leakage. Do not remove covers or perform electrical tests yourself. Confirm that lighting controls operate as intended and that cabinet doors do not obstruct service access or appliance ventilation.
Reconcile the delivered scope
Walk room by room with the latest item list. Identify missing accessories, unfinished touch-ups and items supplied by another vendor. Distinguish a defect from a requested design change that was never approved. Record each issue with a responsible person and an agreed next action. If access is needed after move-in, establish how that will be arranged. Keep the snag list until the items have been checked again.
Collect the handover information
Request care instructions, invoices, applicable warranty terms and product codes. Keep the final drawings and any useful service-location records. Ask how to report a problem and who coordinates support. Confirm the status of keys, leftover materials and site cleaning. A signed handover record should accurately describe any remaining work rather than implying everything is complete when it is not. Check that manuals and unused keys for locks are handed over with the corresponding product details.
