The meeting was with our project manager, Jason, who was well prepared and had the house well prepared as well.
We first had a discussion about the process between now and settlement, which is in a couple of days, and we talked about what happens after settlement. We then signed a couple of documents acknowledging that we discussed these things.
Ryan now puts virtually all of their information on a thumb drive rather than give you a large binder full of information. Jason also pointed to http://myryanhome.com/ for help reviewing general information and contacting Ryan when there's a problem.
One of the processes concerns punch items not corrected by settlement. During the walk through a list is prepared of open items that Ryan acknowledges need to be addressed. I expect many of the items will be addressed before we settle in a few days, but some will not. For instance, the knobs on our kitchen cabinets are misplaced and require new cabinet doors. Jason said he'd order new doors and have them installed when they arrive in a few weeks. In any case, the key is to have a list of items both sides agree on before settlement occurs.
After the discussion we walked through the house from top to bottom and then the outside, adding items to the list. Then we reviewed the list one more time before leaving. The process took about two hours. We thought it would be quicker, but ... It was very very helpful.
So now we do the punch items and we get ready for settlement in a couple days. We love the place! A couple pics:
