Kitchen Exhaust Balance Report Pending Final Payment Email Template

Use this page when final payment is delayed because the buyer says the kitchen exhaust balance report, canopy airflow test record, or grease-extract balancing signoff is still pending. This is different from a whole-building TAB report because the blocker here is the specialist balancing and airflow evidence for commercial kitchen extract systems. The business problem is that the kitchen may already be operational, but payment is still being withheld until the buyer has the final balance report showing the extract system meets the specified airflow and coordination requirements. Your email should ask whether the kitchen-exhaust report is the only remaining blocker, whether testing has already been carried out, what airflow or witness point is still unresolved, and whether payment will be released once that balance report is accepted. The outcome you want is to shift the delay away from generic MEP closeout into one named kitchen-extract acceptance document.
