A "construction handover report" is a document that records the formal acceptance of a construction project or service. During the handover process, the client or an appointed inspector checks whether the construction work has been carried out correctly and in accordance with the contract. The report documents the condition of the building at the time of handover, notes any defects found, and states whether the construction is accepted or if further rectifications are necessary. It serves as an important legal basis for closing the construction project and is often required for payments to the contractor.
