  • What the field team checks — 5 points you can lift straight into your own brief

Step-by-step briefing

  1. Share the location list with full addresses
  2. Explain the purpose of the visit
  3. Attach the checklist and sample photos
  4. Confirm access permissions and contacts
  5. Agree on the report format and deadline
  6. Name an escalation contact

What to share before the visits

  • Location list with addresses and contact names
  • Checklist or instructions
  • Required photographs and evidence
  • Reporting deadline and format

What the field team checks

  • Occupied / vacant status
  • Visible condition and maintenance
  • Access and security
  • Signs of damage or leakage
  • Neighbourhood observations

Where first briefs usually fall short

  • Addresses without a pin code or a nearby landmark
  • No contact name or number for access at the location
  • Checklist points that need judgement instead of observation — neighbourhood observations needs a stated rule
  • No decision rule for closed or inaccessible premises
  • Evidence expectations agreed only after the first batch is delivered
  • No named person to approve revisits

What happens next

The team groups nearby locations into routes, briefs the field people, completes the visits, reviews each submission and delivers the report with completed visits, exceptions and the actions needed.

What you receive

  • Premises condition report
  • Room-wise or area-wise photos
  • Occupancy notes
  • Follow-up recommendations

Key takeaways

  • A complete property & Premises Checks brief is 4 items long, and sending all of them up front is what stops visits being repeated.
  • The checklist runs from occupied / vacant status to neighbourhood observations, with evidence recorded against the points that decide the outcome.
  • You receive 4 outputs: Premises condition report, Room-wise or area-wise photos, Occupancy notes, Follow-up recommendations.
  • Photographs are geo-tagged and time-stamped, every submission is reviewed by a supervisor and a random sample is back-checked — which is what makes a site services record worth quoting internally.
  • Visits run across Mumbai City, the Western and Eastern Suburbs, Thane, Navi Mumbai and Panvel, and assignments typically start within one to three working days of a complete brief.

What to do next: send it and run a first batch

Once the 4 briefing items are in one place, the fastest route to clean data is a small first batch rather than the full list.

01

Pack

Put all 4 briefing items in one email

Location list with addresses and contact names, Checklist or instructions, Required photographs and evidence, Reporting deadline and format — sent together, so the assignment is not held up waiting for one attachment.

02

Pilot

Start with a small set of locations

Run a first batch, read premises condition report and correct the checklist wording before the rest of the list goes out.

03

Contacts

Name one escalation contact on each side

Access refusals and closed premises need a same-day decision; a weekly review turns one revisit into three.

Before you send it

Starting property & premises checks

Assignments typically start within one to three working days of a complete brief, depending on volume and spread.
