A checklist of good intentions
Ticked boxes say the punch list is clear. The punch list itself says otherwise.
Product · Project Close-Out
Project close-out that checks itself
BuildCore's close-out checklist doesn't take anyone's word for it. It checks the punch list, NCRs, retention bonds, as-built handover and contract status live, records sign-offs for the rest, and closes the project only once warranty claims are clear — with a close-out report at the end.
Why it matters
Projects don't finish — they fade out
The last five percent of a project takes the longest, because nobody can see what's actually still open.
Handover by email
As-builts and O&M documents handed over piecemeal are hard to prove complete a year later.
Waivers nobody recorded
Something was agreed not to matter. Nobody wrote down who agreed it, or why.
Capabilities
What Project Close-Out does
A checklist verified live
- Five items checked automatically against other modules: punch list closed, NCRs closed, retention bonds released, as-builts handed over, contract closed out
- Three items signed off by people: final accounts agreed, O&M handed over, handover certificate obtained
- Any item can be waived with a reason — and the waiver is audited
- Complete needs the checklist; close also needs zero open warranty claims
As-builts and handover
- As-built packages: add documents, verify each line, submit, approve and hand over
- A handover register with numbered items, category, priority, responsible party and due date
- Handover items outstanding, in progress, completed or waived
- Defects-liability period status and dates, and a lessons-learned reference

FIDIC-awareContract Management

Questions
Project Close-Out — common questions
Five checklist items aren't ticked by hand: BuildCore reads the punch list, NCRs, retention bonds, as-built handover and contract status from their own modules when you look.
It can be waived, with a reason. The waiver is recorded with who made it and when.
Once the checklist is complete and there are no open warranty claims. The close-out report is then available as a PDF.
