Unit handover decisions
Keep a demolition daily exception log that prompts decisions
- Unit handover decisions
A daily report can list progress without making unresolved decisions visible. An exception log focuses on the items preventing the next agreed step. It is useful when a commercial strip-out has several decision-makers and the same question keeps returning at each site meeting.
Write the exception as a question
Describe the exact location, observed condition and decision required. Replace vague entries such as services issue with a specific request to identify the owner of a labelled connection. Attach the relevant drawing or photograph rather than repeating an uncertain interpretation as fact.
Assign an answer, not just a recipient
Name the person responsible for obtaining the answer and the party qualified to make it. Record which work is paused and which work can continue under the existing plan. A copied email does not show that anyone has accepted responsibility for the decision.
Close with a traceable instruction
When the answer arrives, reference the document or instruction and update the affected scope. Keep the original question alongside the resolution. An item should not disappear because a meeting ended or because a different crew arrives tomorrow.
