At commissioning, how should a developer and installer list their equipment and property interests?

Keep the developer’s project equipment separate from installer-owned tools or test gear. Ask which party’s property interest, custody period, and handover date the proposed terms describe.

For example, if the developer owns the installed unit while the installer keeps its test gear on site through sign-off, give the broker both owners, the items and values, and the expected handover date.1
