Construction Project Closeout
Description
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 reach substantial performance. If clients can’t use the finished product as intended, everyone involved will have to spend more time and money to wrap it up and all stakeholders’ payments will be delayed. This course will identify and discuss closeout requirement for each phase so that the last 3% of the project doesn’t end up being 15% of the effort.

- Pre-Construction Closeout:
