Start finishing early to win the completion game

Description

Abstract: To be in the best possible position to close out a job, it’s necessary for a construction company to start finishing early. This article shows that the process begins with ensuring that all parties agree to the contract specifications from the very beginning. Further planning steps are necessary roughly one month before substantial completion is reached, and the completion of the project calls for conducting the punch-list walk-through, training staff on the building’s equipment, handling documentation — and even writing thank-you letters.
