Closeout of a Construction Project | LIVE, ONLINE Training

Why would a Contractor, Owner Consultant or Subcontractor need to know best practices for closing out a construction project? The answer is simple - if you can't get it done then you can't get paid.

Early organisation, teamwork, and communication are essential to achieve a successful project closeout. Turning over the building to the owner effectively will support positive relationships, perhaps more future business, and timely payments.

There is a great deal to know about a proper, efficient, and complete project turnover. While preparing the project closeout submittals are very important to a great closeout, the way that a project is turned over to the owner counts just as much.

In addition, CCDC2 2020 has been updated to include “Owner Take-over” which clearly outlines the roles and responsibilities of the contractor, topics which you’ll cover in this course.

You’ll walk away with a resource manual packed with practical checklists, templates and how-tos that will help you set up the processes and procedures you need in the office or jobsite.

By the end of this course, you'll cover:

• Setting up the project from pre-construction to building turnover
• Gathering, managing, and submitting project closeout submittals
• Understanding contractual project closeout requirements
• Learning the importance of managing quality throughout the project to reduce deficiencies at the end of the project
• Understanding how deficiencies, occupancy and substantial performance are intrinsically tied together and the roles of the owner, consultant, general contractor and subcontractor each have in this process
• Identifying the key processes for turning over a building including a building turnover meeting
• Learning how to close out your own organization, including project evaluation, a project evaluation meeting and lessons learned so that the company can realize what went well and what did not go so well
