Write the exact room, grid, system, and device
Describe the observed condition without guessing the cause
Attach a useful photo or measurement

Record the retest or verification needed for closure

Ask Foreman

For this commissioning item, who owns the correction and what proof is required before we close it?

Do Not Do This

Do not write vague notes like “HVAC issue,” assign blame without facts, or close an item without verification.

Why This Matters

Clear deficiency records prevent repeated walks, lost responsibility, and false closeout.

Verify against: project commissioning plan, deficiency log procedure, approved drawings and submittals.
