Constructive proper management during this phase contributes to client satisfaction and the overall success of the construction project.
Handing Over:
- Documentation: Constructive team compile and organize all project documentation, including plans, specifications, as-built drawings, manuals, warranties, and maintenance instructions.

- Final Inspection: We must conduct a final inspection to ensure that all work meets the agreed-upon quality standards and specifications.
- Client Acceptance: We should obtain formal acceptance from the client or owner, signifying that they are satisfied with the completed project.
- Occupancy Permits: If applicable, we ensure that all necessary occupancy permits are obtained from the relevant authorities.
- Transition Plan: We develop a transition plan to transfer responsibility for the facility from the construction team to the client's operations and maintenance team.
DLP (Defects Liability Period):
- Warranty Period: The DLP, also known as the warranty period, is a specified period after project completion during which the contractor is responsible for notifying and rectifying any defects, issues, or lack in the construction work.
- Defect Resolution: During the DLP, our client can report any defects or issues they experience. The contractor is committed rectify these problems immediately with no additional cost to the client.
- Regular Inspections: We conduct regular inspections and assessments during the DLP to identify and document any defects or issues. This helps to ensure that all problems are identified and resolved in a timely manner.
