Request exact equipment identification
Record manufacturer, model, quantity, capacity, power requirement, location, controls, included accessories, and the calculation or project condition supporting each selection.
Check the connected system
Equipment depends on plumbing layout, electrical supply, gas where used, drainage, ventilation, clearances, automation compatibility, water features, noise, access, and local requirements. Confirm who owns each connection.
Define commissioning and handover
The written scope should identify startup, testing, programming, owner instruction, warranty registration, manuals, spare items, baseline settings, and the service contact after handover.

What should be demonstrated at handover?+
Request operation of controls, circulation, sanitation, heating, lighting, shutoffs, safety features, and routine owner tasks.
