Close Out and Collect

Before final payment,
know what you can still prove.

Closeout is where small gaps in the record turn into write-offs. By then the people who knew have moved on, and somebody is reconstructing a two-year-old argument from memory.

Closeout Checklist
Closeout readiness

The closeout requirements,
and what is on file.

Each closeout requirement read from the contract, marked by what your record holds. States illustrate a review in progress.

The closeout chain

We look for the link where it stops.

  1. 01
    Requirement

    What the contract requires of you.

  2. 02
    What would prove it

    The acceptance criteria, stated up front.

  3. 03
    Evidence on file

    What your project record actually holds.

  4. 04
    Still open

    What nobody can show before the account is agreed.

Retention

The release condition is already in your contract.

Nobody has written it down in one place, which is why the conversation at the end is about what somebody remembers agreeing.

  • What the contract requires before retention is released, cited to the clause
  • Which of those conditions have evidence behind them
  • Closeout submittals, warranties, as-builts and sign-offs
  • Final payment prerequisites, with what is still open

FAQ

Common questions

What is a final account review?

A check, before the account is agreed, of what the contract requires at closeout, what proves each item, and what still has nothing behind it.

What usually breaks a closeout position?

One missing link: the requirement and the test are clear, but nobody filed the thing that proves it.

Does Halozen read our accounts to see what is owed?

No. Halozen reads the release and payment conditions in the contract. Payment status comes from the records you upload.
