You can **manage final cleaning and handover checklists** by preparing a standard list for every project — cleaning by room, systems tested, keys, manuals and documents — completing it with photos and recording the client's sign-off at handover.

In **Jestor**, handover checklists are linked to the project, so nothing is forgotten at the most visible moment of the job.

## Why do handovers go wrong?

The last days of a project are rushed. Cleaning is incomplete, manuals are missing and keys are handed over without a record.

The client's first impression of the finished work is spoiled by small details.

Later, disputes arise about what was delivered.

## What problems do handover checklists solve?

- Incomplete final cleaning
- Missing manuals, warranties or keys
- Systems not tested before delivery
- No record of what was handed over
- Disputes after handover

## How do I manage handover in Jestor?

1. **Create a handover checklist** linked to the project.
2. **List cleaning by room** with photos after cleaning.
3. **Record system tests**: electrical, plumbing, HVAC.
4. **List items delivered**: keys, manuals, warranties, certificates.
5. **Record client sign-off** with date.

| Checklist section | Evidence                          |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------- |
| Cleaning by room  | Photos                            |
| Systems tested    | Test results                      |
| Keys and access   | Quantity delivered                |
| Documents         | Manuals, warranties, certificates |

## How do I start the warranty period cleanly?

The handover date recorded in Jestor marks the start of warranty periods.

Warranty claims can then be checked against this date automatically.

## Why use Jestor for handover?

- **Standard checklists**: every project delivered the same way.
- **Photos and documents**: evidence of the condition at delivery.
- **Client sign-off**: handover recorded with date.
- **Warranty link**: handover date feeds warranty checks.

## What else helps you manage final cleaning and handover checklists?

- A professional handover also generates referrals. Clients who receive an organized delivery, with documents and clear instructions, are more likely to recommend the company.
- Cleaning can be split into rough cleaning and final cleaning. Recording both steps separately avoids final cleaning being done while other trades are still working in the same rooms.
- Assigning each room to a specific person creates clear accountability.

This is how you manage final cleaning and handover checklists that impress clients.
