As one of the final stages in the project lifecycle, closeout is crucial for ensuring that all project closeout submittals are provided to the owner, and the project is handed over successfully to the client or end user. This workshop will provide participants with comprehensive insights, strategies, and best practices for navigating the closeout process with efficiency and excellence.
During the workshop, we'll explore how early organization, effective teamwork, and clear communication intertwine to ensure a successful project closeout. A smooth turnover of the building to the owner not only fosters positive relationships but also potentially leads to future business opportunities and ensures timely payments. Remember, completing the project is essential for receiving payment.
While compiling the project closeout submittals holds significant importance for achieving a successful closeout, equal attention must be paid to the manner in which the project is handed over to the owner. The latest version of CCDC2 2020 now incorporates "Ready for Take-over," delineating the contractor's roles and responsibilities explicitly. A thorough understanding of the proper, efficient, and comprehensive project turnover process is crucial.
Course Content:
- Understanding Closeout Essentials
- Navigating Regulatory Requirements
- Effective Documentation Management
- Quality Assurance and Deficiency Management
- Contractual Obligations and Financial Closure
- Client Handover and Occupancy Planning

Attendees will discover best practices and "tips and tricks" aimed at streamlining the transition of project ownership from the contractor to the owner. The goal is to ensure that the final 3% of the project doesn't consume 15% of effort.
Freshly revised and available solely through this workshop is an extensive manual serving as a constant point of reference and direction throughout the sessions. Culled from over 40 years of experience in the construction industry, this manual stands as an invaluable and efficient resource. Not only does it offer practical step-by-step instructions, checklists, and templates, but it also lays the groundwork for implementing new practices and protocols both in the office and on-site. Furthermore, all attendees will receive the original templates for the checklists and spreadsheets.
