Compare the result with the agreed extent
Use the agreed removal extent as the checklist, not a general impression that the property looks clear. Walk through the record with the authorised receiving party using safe access arrangements. Identify removed structures, retained slabs and other agreed boundaries by the same references used in the scope.
Separate handover from approval closure
A physical handover record does not close a permit or certify that the site is suitable for new construction. Keep inspection status and professional confirmations separately identified. The Toronto inspection guide explains why the relevant authority's result matters alongside the contractor's removal record.
Assign unfinished interfaces
List unresolved openings, retained service interfaces, debris questions or follow-on tasks as specific items. Name the party responsible for the next action and the document governing it. Avoid recording an unresolved item as complete merely because the demolition crew has finished its agreed portion.
Use a residential handover record
Keep the dated record with the scope and available photographs. Record agreement and outstanding questions separately; do not use the sheet to decide liability or certify technical conditions. The house extent schedule provides a useful starting reference, while the residential service page keeps removal distinct from excavation and rebuilding.
