ENGINE · PM HANDOFF REPORT

Never lose project context. In a PM transition.

The PM Handoff Report is the Trueleveler engine that compiles contract risks, scope gaps, open change orders, pending submittals, key contacts, and budget status into a structured handoff brief — so the incoming PM starts with full situational awareness, not a blank slate.

Try it now

PM Handoff Report runs on a project that has a Contract Review run and needs a free account (no card). It has no sample data yet, and the no-signup demo only levels bids.

§ 01 THE PROBLEM · CRITICAL KNOWLEDGE WALKS OUT THE DOOR

When a PM leaves, the project loses a year.

Open items buried in email threads

The outgoing PM knows every pending RFI, every submittal in rework, every owner conversation still open. The incoming PM gets a ZIP of old emails and a 45-minute phone call. The rest has to be reconstructed in the first 60 days.

Contract risks nobody flagged

Notice windows, liquidated damages, pay-when-paid language, retainage ratchets — the outgoing PM had them mentally tracked. Miss a notice window in the first week, and the claim is gone before the new PM even unpacks.

Budget variance with no story behind it

A cost report shows -$420k to budget. Was that a known scope add? An unrecovered CO? A coding error? Without the narrative, the incoming PM either over-corrects or inherits a surprise at the next owner meeting.

Missed risks show up later as cost

An unstructured handoff loses risks, lets deadlines lapse and duplicates work. The cost of a bad handoff shows up later — and it's rarely small.

§ 02 WHAT YOU GET · SIX OUTPUTS, EVERY HANDOFF

Six outputs. Every handoff.

Contract

Contract risk summary

High-risk clauses, notice windows, payment terms, liability exposure — everything the incoming PM needs to know about the contract before making any decisions.

Scope

Scope gap analysis

Missing items, unauthorized extras, compliance status from prior scope checks — a clear picture of what was supposed to be in scope versus what actually is.

Open

Open items register

Pending change orders, outstanding submittals, unresolved RFIs — every open item compiled into a single actionable register with status, age, and next steps.

Budget

Budget & schedule snapshot

Cost to date, projected final cost, critical milestones, and delivery timeline — the financial and schedule picture at a glance with variance callouts.

Contacts

Contacts & access

Owner reps, architect, consultants, key trades, and system access. Who to call for what, with escalation paths and political context flagged where relevant.

Export

Branded handoff PDF

One-click export as a branded PDF, or email it straight from the result screen to the incoming PM or your project engineer (it comes from Trueleveler, and replies go to you). A read-only live link is coming. The outgoing PM’s notes and key contacts go in before the brief is generated, so institutional knowledge is in the document.

§ 03 HOW IT WORKS · CHAIN TO A HANDOFF BRIEF IN SECONDS

Run to brief in seconds.

01

Run Contract Review first

PM Handoff chains from a prior Contract Review run on the project (Bid Scope Compliance too, if you want the gap analysis section) — no separate document upload for this engine.

02

Trueleveler auto-pulls the rest

Live open change orders, submittals, and RFIs, plus current budget and schedule status, pulled straight from the project's own trackers — not re-extracted from a re-uploaded document.

03

Outgoing PM adds context

A PM Notes field lets the outgoing PM add institutional knowledge, flag political context, or note owner preferences before sharing with the incoming PM.

04

Share with incoming PM

Export it as a branded PDF, or email that PDF to the incoming PM in one step (a read-only live link is coming). Incoming PM reads a consolidated brief in 15 minutes, not a week of email archaeology.

§ 04 THE IMPACT · WHAT A STRUCTURED HANDOFF PREVENTS

Continuity that holds.

One handoff brief

Open risks, notice windows, key contacts and budget variances go into a single document, so nothing depends on what the outgoing PM remembers to say.

Brief in 60s

What used to take an outgoing PM two days to assemble (and still leave gaps) now takes under a minute, plus edits. The incoming PM reads the brief in 15 minutes instead of losing a week to discovery.

Zero blank slate

Every risk, open item, key contact, and budget variance is in one document — with the narrative intact. The incoming PM starts day one with the full picture, not a stack of folders and a guess.

§ 06 FAQ · QUESTIONS PMs ASK

Questions PMs ask us.

Run Contract Review on the project first (Bid Scope Compliance too, if you want the gap analysis section) — PM Handoff chains from those results rather than taking its own document upload. Once that's in place, it auto-pulls live open change orders, submittals, and RFIs, plus your current budget and schedule status, straight from the project's own trackers. No re-uploading anything already in Trueleveler.
A structured handoff brief is generated in 50-90 seconds once you run it on a project with a prior Contract Review. The incoming PM reads a consolidated brief in 15 minutes instead of spending their first week reconstructing context from scattered sources.
Yes. A PM Notes field lets the outgoing PM add institutional knowledge, flag political context, or note owner preferences — it appears as its own section in the final brief, alongside the auto-pulled risk register, open items, and budget/schedule snapshot.
Yes. The 14-day free trial includes every engine — PM Handoff included — with 15 analysis runs on any engine and no credit card.
