Seven visible handoffs
A Practical Apartment Make-Ready Workflow
A useful unit-turn workflow separates discovery from execution. The person walking records what exists; someone scopes and routes the findings; crews work only ready items; vendor holds remain visible; and inspection is a real handoff before completion.

What you will get
- Reported captures what the walk found
- Scoped defines the work and trade
- Ready means the next person can act
- Waiting Vendor stays visible instead of disappearing into messages
Reported and Scoped
Reported is the fast intake stage for walkthrough findings. Scoped means the team has clarified the location, expected action, trade, and any detail needed before work can begin.
Ready, In Progress, and Waiting Vendor
Ready work can be claimed or assigned now. In Progress means someone is actively executing it. Waiting Vendor is a visible hold—not a place to hide work that simply has no owner.
- Sequence dependent work deliberately
- Record the blocker or vendor handoff
- Return work to Ready when the hold clears
Inspection and Complete
Inspection is the verification handoff. Complete means the individual item is done; the unit turn should be completed only after all active work meets the property's readiness standard.
What Turnboards does—and does not do
This workflow is a coordination pattern, not a universal timeline, safety procedure, legal standard, licensed-trade instruction, or replacement for your property's inspection and readiness requirements.
