The tech who fixed the unit is the worst person to grade it — fresh eyes catch the outlet cover and the window balance that the regular crew walks past. Some teams swap buildings between supers for pre-walks; others bring the manager through with the checklist. Who walks and who writes on your team, and how do you keep it honest?

Fresh eyes are not an insult to the crew; they are how the work gets graded the way an inspector will grade it. The tech who replaced the outlet cover stops seeing outlet covers. Swapping buildings between supers is the cheapest version of honesty I know, and the note-writer matters too — the person writing tends to find more than the person chatting alongside. Who does your pre-walks — the crew that did the work, a swapped super, or the manager — and how do you keep the grading honest?
