Mechanical Completion
Mechanical Completion: prepare turnover system by system.
MSD organises systemisation, punch management and completion dossiers to distinguish documented completion, outstanding work and constraints on the move to pre-commissioning.
SystemisationPunch managementCompletion dossiersHandover readiness
MSD approach
Completion as a process, not a final phase.
Completion quality depends on systemisation, open-item ownership, evidence and acceptance criteria defined before construction finishes.
- Punch items linked to systems and owners
- Check sheets with evidence status
- Readiness referenced to agreed criteria
When to involve MSD
When the end of construction does not mean readiness.
Each system status needs to be established from check sheets, punch items and evidence required by the acceptance criteria.
Punch items lack priorities or owners
Make each item’s category, owner and status explicit, distinguishing those that affect the system transition.
Dossiers do not demonstrate completion status
Compare the dossier index with available check sheets and records to identify missing completion evidence.
Service scope
System turnover, punch lists and dossiers.
Systemisation support
Support the definition of systems and subsystems and the association of tags, boundaries and records with completion scope.
Completion procedure support
Assist the team in defining procedures, check sheets and documentary criteria needed to record completion.
Punch categorisation
Organise punch items using project categories, highlighting closure priorities and assigned owners.
Dossier tracking
Follow document availability for each dossier, separating records that are present, incomplete or still to be issued.
Walkdown coordination
Coordinate walkdown preparation and participation, collecting findings for entry into punch lists.
Handover readiness
Summarise dossiers, punch status and reservations against agreed criteria for transfer to the receiving team.
