• Support testing, commissioning, punch list execution, and readiness for turnover, verifying tenant systems are complete, coordinated, documented, and aligned with operational requirements.
• Review and verify progress reporting, change impacts, and pay‑application support documentation associated with tenant fit‑out scopes, providing recommendations to the owner.
