Hand over the job with paperwork that closes it out, and stops the snag email six months later.
For small firms wanting to end a job cleanly, not trail it for a year. Certificate checklist, warranty register, snag list and practical completion statement in one PDF.
A proper handover pack protects both you and your client. It proves what was done, what certificates and permits were obtained, and what warranties apply.
Disclaimer: This tool generates a handover pack checklist based on the type of work you've done. It does not replace statutory certificates and permits (the occupancy permit, electrical and gas permits and inspections, etc.) which must be obtained from the relevant bodies. You are responsible for ensuring all required certificates are obtained and included.

What the law actually says
- •At the end of a job you should hand over the certificates and warranties the work generated - a provincial electrical inspection certificate (for example, an ESA certificate in Ontario) for electrical work, a gas certificate where required, plus warranties and as-built notes. A handover pack collects all of it so the client (and you) have proof the work was signed off.
