Once everyone has completed their work and you've put the finishing touches on the project, it's time to get paid for the installation job.

But before you can do that, the client will want to do a final quality inspection with you to check that everything is right.

Naturally, the best client to deal with is one who is 100% satisfied with your work.

They not only pay their bills on time, they also give you good word-of-mouth recommendations to others.

So it's important that you've made sure everything is in order before you do the final walk through.

Below is a checklist of some of the things to look for before you organise a final inspection with the client.
