Closeout documents

Records delivered at the end of an assignment to document the work and support its operation, maintenance, or contractual acceptance.

Why it matters

Typical items include warranties, operating information, record drawings, and testing records as specified. A folder marked final is not proof that its contents meet the contract.

In practice

A project example

The owner receives equipment manuals but still needs the system startup and test records required by the specification.
