Frequently Asked Questions
Project closeout includes: punch list completion, final inspections, certificate of occupancy, as-built drawings, O&M manuals, warranty documentation, attic stock delivery, owner training, final pay application, retainage release, final lien waivers, and project record archiving.
Substantial completion is when the project is sufficiently complete that the owner can use it for its intended purpose. Final completion is when ALL contract requirements are met, including punch list items, closeout documentation, and financial reconciliation. This template tracks both milestones.
The master checklist covers every standard closeout requirement organized by category. Each item has a responsible party, due date, and status. The template also includes a contract-specific requirements section for project-unique closeout obligations.
