Open this form

A job handover records what was completed, which practical handover steps were done, and what remains outstanding. Fill it after the walkthrough, before the final job file is closed. The tradie signs the record. Customer name, date, and signature are optional.

This is a Tradie Forms designed customer record, not a government form or compliance certificate. Keep any required certificates, commissioning records, warranties, contract notices, and invoices as separate documents.

Recording a maintenance or service visit with findings and recommendations rather than a completed job handover? Use Service Report

This handover does not replace a compliance certificate, commissioning record, practical completion notice, or contract document the job still requires.

Before you start

Have the final scope and loose ends in front of you before the walkthrough.

  • The completed scope

    The quote, work order, approved variations, and a plain description of what was actually completed.

  • Customer and site details

    The person receiving the handover and the address where the work was done.

  • Handover documents

    Manuals, warranties, compliance certificates, commissioning records, and care instructions being provided separately.

  • Outstanding items

    Each unfinished or third-party item, who owns it, and a realistic target date.

  • Who can accept the work

    The homeowner, customer, agent, builder, or site representative available for the walkthrough.

Your business details and the job reference the customer will recognise.

Date StartedDateOptional

The first day of the job or defined stage when it helps explain the handover period.

Date CompletedDateRequired

The day the described work reached handover. Future dates are blocked.

Completion Checklist

The six checks cover quoted work, cleaning, the walkthrough, operation or demonstration, manuals or certificates, and the follow-up or warranty process. Unfinished work belongs in Outstanding Items, not under an inaccurate Yes.

Outstanding Items

Leave this empty for a clean handover. Otherwise add one row per loose end. Long lists continue onto extra pages in the PDF.

Outstanding ItemsTableRowsOptional

Item says what remains. Who Resolves is Us, Customer, or Third party. By When is a clear target such as Fri 14 Aug. Every row needs the item and owner before it counts.

Tradie SignatureSignatureRequired

Customer DateDateOptional

The day the customer accepted the handover.

Customer SignatureSignatureOptional

Capture on the phone when the customer is ready, or leave blank and send the PDF for signing later.

Common mistakes

  • Copying the quote instead of describing completed work.

    A quote can include options or work removed by variation. Write what was actually completed and keep the quote and variations beside the handover.

  • Marking every checklist item Yes automatically.

    Walk through the site and documents. Use N/A when an item does not apply, and put unfinished work in the outstanding list.

  • Writing one vague outstanding item.

    Finish bits has no owner or target. Name the item, who resolves it, and when it is expected.

  • Using customer acceptance as a compliance certificate.

    A signature does not replace testing, certification, commissioning, or regulator paperwork required for the work.

  • Adding invoice amounts to the handover.

    Keep money in the quote, contract, variations, and invoice. This PDF records the work and acceptance.

Before download

  1. 0 of 7 checked

After download

Give the customer a copy and keep one with the quote, variations, compliance or commissioning records, warranties, photos, and invoice.

  • Name the file by customer and date. Job Handover - Jordan Lee - 2026-08-02.pdf is easy to find later.
  • Track every loose end. Carry outstanding items into the booking or job system so the handover list does not become a dead end.
  • Send the missing documents. Provide manuals, warranties, and certificates named during the walkthrough.
  • Keep customer acceptance optional. If they sign later, retain the final signed copy with the original handover trail.
