Collect the relevant history
Share available inspection reports, prior repairs, leak logs, drawings, and service records with the assessment team. Identify the source and date of each record. Earlier reports provide context, but they do not establish the cause or extent of a new loss.
Use identifiers the property team recognizes
Create an incident identifier and use the building, floor, unit, room, or roof-zone names already used by management. Link photographs, work orders, scope documents, and invoices to those locations. Keep the original file where required and use links or an index rather than creating competing copies.
Track construction status separately from service requests
A closed maintenance ticket may only mean that a report was passed to a contractor. Record assessment, authorization, construction, and final acceptance as separate states. Assign an owner for each open issue so recurring reports are not lost between systems.
Update the asset record at handover
Add the completed scope, installed product information, applicable warranty documents, current drawings, and unresolved observations. Have the property team check that the files are findable and accessible. Set responsibility for future updates before the project workspace is archived.
