Demonstrate a normal operating day
Have the installer show circulation, cleaning, heating, lighting, water features, covers, controls, alarms, and normal valve positions. Record programmed settings and what an owner should do after a fault. Photograph the equipment pad after labels are applied.
Close out incomplete work
Maintain one punch list with each item, responsible party, target date, and resolution. Separate cosmetic work from safety or operational concerns. Retain approved plans, inspection outcomes, manuals, serial numbers, finish instructions, warranty contacts, and startup records in the final file.
