Equipment is presented for commissioning before contractor QA/QC walkdowns and internal close-out are genuinely complete.
The commissioning team becomes the first detailed inspection, basic defects are discovered late, and existing construction delay is reported as commissioning delay.
Installation inspections are completed, defects closed, and objective records assembled before independent commissioning verification begins.
Introduce a simple readiness handover: construction complete, QA/QC verified, evidence attached, outstanding items visible, then commissioning invited.
