Service guides / Building Contractors
Check the outcome of your building contractors job against the accepted scope while the details are still fresh. Arrange a handover with someone who can explain the completed work.
Check the service-specific items
- Prepare a snag list by room or trade
- Collect agreed completion records
- Document outstanding items and completion dates
Walk through the agreed scope
Use the quote as your checklist. Mark each item completed, outstanding or needing clarification. Ask the provider to explain changes and compare them with the variations you approved. Record concerns clearly with photographs or examples where useful.
Agree how outstanding items will close
Keep a short list stating the item, the responsible person and the agreed follow-up date. Distinguish an unfinished task from a new request so both parties understand what remains within the original job.
Collect the handover information
Retain the invoice, product or service details, relevant records and written warranty terms supplied for the job. Confirm who to contact if a problem appears and what maintenance or operating steps the provider recommends.
Close the record
Review the final amount against the accepted quote and authorised changes. Keep correspondence together. If you leave a review, describe the work you actually received and how any concerns were handled; avoid conclusions you cannot substantiate.
