Administrative and technical steps for completing and handing over projects.
About this course
Project closeout is the final phase of construction, where the focus shifts from building to documentation and handover. In this course, you will learn the administrative and technical steps required to formally complete a project. You will work through the process of preparing final submissions, coordinating inspections, and ensuring that all contractual obligations are met before the site is returned to the client.
You will practice drafting closeout checklists, reviewing warranty documents, and resolving minor disputes or punch list items. The course emphasizes clear communication with contractors, consultants, and clients to ensure a smooth transition from construction to operation.
