DEVELOPER-COMMISSIONED · BEFORE OPERATOR HANDOVER

Developer's Pre-HMA Property Readiness Audit

For the developer. Before inviting an operator's take-over team to site, commission an independent readiness audit. Identifies gaps that would prompt the operator to walk away, delay HMA signing, or insert punitive clauses. Cheap insurance relative to the leverage it preserves in HMA negotiation.
