Pair the walk: one tests, one fixes, nobody grades their own work

The two-person building sweep is the cheapest training tool on a property. Pair a tech who tests and calls out — doors, latches, lights, signs, panel — with a tech who carries the kit and fixes on the spot. Rotate who tests, because the tester learns the standard and the fixer learns the repairs, and next month they trade. It also builds the fresh-eyes rule into the schedule: neither person is grading work they did alone, because the pair closes items together and both names go on the log. A solo walker with a clipboard finds half of what a working pair finds. How do you staff your building sweeps? — Otto Mergl, Admin
