Handoff package

A design is not finished when the analysis converges — it is finished when another engineer can pick it up, retrace every number and build from it. Assemble these deliverables for the final handoff.

Signed and dated design report (PDF) with all appendices
Complete calculation package, indexed and cross-referenced to the report
Drawing set at the latest revision, with the revision log
Analysis model files plus the hand-check documentation
Quantity takeoff and cost estimate workbook
Register of open items, assumptions and recommended future work
