Stage 6 in the project lifecycle corresponds to which activity?

• A. Handover - commissioning, quality checks
• B. Planning and design development
• C. Construction phase mobilization
• D. Maintenance planning

Answer: (A)

Stage six centers on handing over the finished asset to the client and ensuring it is ready for use. This involves commissioning the building services and systems, conducting quality checks against the approved design and specifications, addressing any remaining snags, and delivering all required documentation, warranties, and training. Once these steps are complete, the client can take occupancy and operate the facility, marking formal completion. Earlier activities—planning and design development and construction phase mobilization—occur before this point, while maintenance planning begins once the asset is in use after handover.
