Preparing a Close-Out Checklist (page 161): The project close-out package consists of documents—financials, as-built drawings, manuals, signed-off punch lists, inspection certificates, etc.—handed over to the owner of the space to serve as a formal recognition that the project is complete and to provide the assurance that the work performed meets all applicable standards. A close-out package also reduces your company’s risk by confirming that all required documents have been delivered, leaving your client with a good impression of your work as the project manager. Use the Close-Out Checklist as a guide for your close-out procedure.
