Project Closeout
Separate closeout files are created for each subcontractor and a closeout list is prepared including as-built drawings, maintenance and operation manuals, punch lists, owner acceptance, building department sign-off, guarantees, payment affidavit, and the consent of surety. Prior to acceptance by the Owner, “preliminary” and “final” Punch lists are prepared by the project team and inspections are performed for each subcontractor. When the entire project team is fully satisfied with the work, a recommendation is made for final payment and close out of each contract.
