reworks<\/h3>\n\t<p>Construction project handovers might seem like a formality when everything goes right, and a waste of time and effort to put in more than the bare minimum, but even one time having an issue and using a proper process will show how important it is.<\/p>\n<p>Standardising the fields and sections you want captured will set your construction project handover template apart from those that just wing it, invariably missing important information that needs a digital papertrail.<\/p>\n<p>A good project handover should include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tests run<\/li>\n<li>Certificates and warranties<\/li>\n<li>Defects found<\/li>\n<li>Keys, fobs and access passes handed over<\/li>\n<li>Signoff from both sides<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The completed report should be exported and saved in case of an audit or issue post-handover.<\/p>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sitemate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/20-11-11-User-pair-37-1-1.svg\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t<h4>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h4>\n\t<section>\n  <details>\n    <summary>Is the format of this project handover checklist Word Doc, Excel, PDF or something else?<\/summary>\n    <p>The format of this project handover checklist is that it&#8217;s a proper digital document, with the capabilities of a Word Doc, Excel Spreadsheet and PDF embedded in one. Similar to Word, the template can be edited with ease, which is the main strength of this format. The benefits of a digital document over and above Word, Excel and PDF is that Dashpivot digital documents can be converted into a register style or &#8216;Excel&#8217; format in one click, and exported to PDF in one click, rather than moving information between formats.<\/p>\n  <\/details>\n  <details>\n    <summary>How can I share this construction project handover checklist?<\/summary>\n    <p>You can share your project handover checklists in a few ways. You can fill them out and then export them as nicely formatted PDF docs with your company logo, and you can even setup automated workflows so that external parties (e.g clients or contractors) get notified when you submit a handover checklist, which they can review and signoff themselves, locking up the document as complete to avoid handover disputes.<\/p>\n  <\/details>\n  <details>\n    <summary>Does Sitemate offer other construction project checklists and templates?<\/summary>\n    <p>Yes &#8211; Sitemate has a free library of thousands of construction templates which are used by thousands of companies every day. While project handovers are critical, many of the most important and frequent forms filled in on construction projects are filled out during project delivery, including progress reports and HSEQ docs. This is where Sitemate&#8217;s templates shine, through all stages of project delivery, capturing daily project data and storing it in a secure and user friendly format, which can then be wrapped up and even attached to  a neat project handover checklist.<\/p>\n  <\/details>\n<\/section>\n\t<p>Sitemate builds best-in-class software tools for built world companies.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/sitemate.com\/au\/\" target=\"_self\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLearn more\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/sitemate.com\/au\/software\/dashpivot\/demo\/\" target=\"_self\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWatch demo videos\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sitemate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Group-944-2.svg\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Use and edit template for free Use this template now Construction Project Handover Checklist Template: Easier to edit than Word or Excel Use this template now Start with a free 30-day trial.
