Construction Project Closeout: Seamless Transition to Maintenance

Construction Project Closeout: The Critical Bridge You Can't Afford to Break   When your construction project closeout fails, client relationships crumble. You've just delivered a stunning renovation on time and under budget. The client is thrilled.

This critical transition from building to preserving determines whether your project becomes a lasting legacy or a deteriorating asset.   When construction wraps, you face a choice.
