Substantial Completion - Getting your Project to the Finish Line
Substantial Completion is the stage of the project where portions of work are sufficiently complete. It is at this stage, where items that have been constructed will now become assets, start depreciating, and/or are handed off to the Operations and Maintenance team to support. It’s also the time to collect warranties and ensure all Punch list items are completed.
Oftentimes, this process is documented in an email exchange between the Owner and the Construction Manager/General Contractor. As we all know, email is the preferred communication tool on construction projects and it will not go away time soon, but there are more effective ways to manage information at this phase of the project.
The Substantial Completion Form app in Construction Viz was designed to make the turnover process more efficient and easier to manage for all parties involved. For each major area of scope, the user can track scope details, warranties, and punch list items including the value outstanding and when items will be completed for turnover. At any time the user can run a G704 Certificate of Substation Completion report for physical signature and record retention.
The challenge with traditional email correspondence is responsibility and progress management. Construction Viz solves this by capturing ownership within each Punch List issue as well as interactive form status dashboards, ball in court grids, Outstanding response log reports, and user alert notifications. And of course, emails are automatically generated for individual users and/or distribution lists for review and acceptance.
As with any form app in Construction Viz additional components can be added such as:
- Document, Image, Video attachments
- Geospatial mapping of scope
- WBS, specification, contract, and/or asset tracking
- Progress tracking using the Construction Viz Scheduler app and/or integrated P6 Scheduling
- External Links and data relationships
- Electronic review and approval
- Microsoft Flow workflows
- Power Bi reporting and dashboards
