Client Walkthrough for Home Builder

The Client Walkthrough workflow helps home builders and remodelers close projects with confidence and professionalism. It includes touring the completed property with the client, reviewing finishes, addressing punch list items, and explaining system operations. By standardizing this process, builders reduce misunderstandings, prevent warranty issues, and strengthen trust. Clients benefit from transparency, hands-on orientation, and assurance that expectations are met. Teams gain accountability through documented feedback and final sign-offs. With this workflow in place, home builders can protect profitability, improve client satisfaction, and create lasting relationships while handing off projects that reflect consistent quality and care.
