What is the primary purpose of having the contractor and lead technician walk a completed electrical project on their own before the formal walkthrough with the property owner?

Catching and resolving issues like misaligned devices and missing cover plates during an internal pre-walk helps to minimize the number of items the property owner discovers during the formal walkthrough.

You are nearing the completion of a commercial office electrical build-out. Arrange the following actions in the correct operational sequence to properly apply the pre-walk strategy, ensuring a professional handover and a minimized client-facing punch list.
