Overview of Post-Construction Services
At Bell Construction Company, our relationship with the client does not end when the construction is complete. Instead, we continue to serve the client post-construction.
Our post-construction services are provided to provide a smooth and orderly transition from construction to occupancy. In order to hand the building entirely over to the building owner, these services are a crucial component of the project as a whole, as they help to tie up any loose ends. We fully understand the process that is needed and are prepared to remain a part of a client’s transition team so that the occupancy will be seamless. In addition, we are ready to respond during the warranty period and beyond should any issues arise.
Key Aspects of Post-Construction Services
Post-construction services refer to the final processes completed after the construction phase of a project is complete. At Bell, we feel these services are essential to ensure that a building is entirely in the control of the owner and ready for occupancy. Some of the key post-construction services Bell Construction Company provides include:
- Completion of Punch List Items: The punch list is a document that outlines any remaining work that needs to be completed before the project is considered finished. Post-construction services involve completing all punch list items.
- Final Inspections and Walkthroughs: Post-construction services involve conducting final inspections and walkthroughs to ensure that the building meets the required quality standards.
- Training for the Building Owner: This service involves providing training for the building owner on how to operate and maintain the building.
- Cleaning: This service involves cleaning the building to ensure that it is ready for occupancy.
- Project Closeout: Post-construction services may involve project closeout, which includes completing any final change orders, preparing the work site for occupancy, and finalizing all project documentation.
- Close Out Documents: These documents include warranties, guarantees, and other paperwork that need to be completed before the project can be considered complete.
- Commissioning: This is the process of verifying that all systems and components of the building are installed, tested, and operating according to the design intent and the owner’s requirements.
- Warranty: This is the process of a promising that something will be done a certain way. A warranty is any representation made by one party that another can and will rely on. Two types of construction warranties that should be discussed are implicit versus implied.
