Close out permits and statutory approvals

List every permit, statutory approval and planning condition the project carries, with what each one needs to be discharged and who is responsible for it.

Neden: A condition forgotten until handover week can stall occupation. Listing them all early is what turns a scramble for certificates into a schedule that closes out in good time.

Book the final statutory inspections - building control, fire, utilities and any specialist body - and record each sign-off against the approval it satisfies.

Neden: Statutory inspectors work to their own diaries, not yours. Booking them early and tracking each sign-off is what keeps a missing inspection from becoming the thing that delays completion.

Collect the completion certificates and approval letters into the handover file, so the proof that the building is signed off lives in one place the client can rely on.

Neden: A certificate that cannot be found is a certificate that does not exist as far as a lawyer or a future buyer is concerned. Filing them properly protects the client for the life of the building.

Confirm every condition is formally discharged and nothing is left outstanding, so the building is legally clear for the client to occupy and operate.

Neden: One undischarged condition can make an occupied building non-compliant. Confirming the full set is closed is the final gate that lets everyone hand over and move on with confidence.
