Project Closeout
Takes 6 Months Too Long
The Challenge
147 documents nobody tracks until the end
As-builts, O&M manuals, warranties, test reports, training certificates, spare parts lists. Nobody tracks which ones are collected until substantial completion.
Subs disappear after their work is done
The plumber is done and mobilized to the next job. Getting their as-builts and warranty letters is like pulling teeth. They have zero incentive to respond.
Retainage held indefinitely
10% retainage on a $20M contract is $2M. That money sits untouched for 6+ months while you chase paperwork that should have been collected during construction.
Owner occupancy delayed by paperwork
The building is ready but the owner cannot occupy because the certificate of occupancy requires completed closeout documentation that you do not have.
The POD Solution Path
