Understand the temporary condition
Ask what can be used, what must remain isolated or restricted and who needs to be informed. Temporary materials or restrictions should have a clear purpose and a follow-up plan. Do not assume normal operation has resumed because attendance has finished.
Arrange the permanent work
The findings may support a repair quotation, further investigation or replacement. Keep the immediate response and permanent work separately identifiable so authorisation, cost and completion are clear.
Questions to resolve
Does make-safe mean fixed?
No. It means the immediate condition has been addressed within the scope. The completion record should state whether permanent work remains.
What should I ask before the contractor leaves?
Ask about the current condition, restrictions, warning signs, follow-up action and the contact route if the situation changes.
