Effective MEP handover connects installed systems with the people who will operate
and maintain them. Make clear what was installed and checked, which documents are
included and what remains open.

## Documentation people can use

Collect equipment schedules, available manufacturer information, approved record
drawings, test records and maintenance guidance within the agreed scope. Identify
the current version and where each item is stored.

## Training and open items

Include operator familiarization with equipment and controls in the handover plan.
Track open items with an owner and next action so follow-up is clear to everyone.

## Make the handover usable

Agree on the handover package early. Depending on contract scope, this may include
equipment schedules, available manufacturer documents, approved record information,
test records, operating guidance and a list of open items with owners.

## Connect commissioning with maintenance

Record which systems were checked, what remains outstanding and where the current
documents are kept. Operator familiarization and service access can be included 
in the handover plan when they are part of the agreed scope.
