    • A contract is best completed by performance i.e. the parties to it do what they are supposed to do, the Contractor constructs the Contract Works and the Principal pays the Contractor for doing that. The issue with construction work is deciding when it is actually finished. This document addresses that issue i.e. the stages involved in the  completion of the Contract Works.

    • The attached WIKI gives a useful list of operations which are linked to other WIKIs.

    • eSUB is a software programme for trade subcontractors produced by an American construction project management software company based in San Diego, California.

      The article explains 'as built' drawings and how to make them while saying the process is tedious and that a digital programme such as eSUB would make their formation much easier.

      Generally each trade subcontractor prepares the relevant drawings for its trade and gives them to the main contractor for assembly into their final form.

    • This WIKI explains a further step in the process of handover where the Principal makes a building ready for occupation by for example installing chattels and other equipment that will be used in whatever function the building serves.

      It also contains a WIKI differentiating between commissioning and testing

      The attachment doesn't seem to work, try:

      Close-out [US] is a work process to finalise all activities of the project at the end of the project including hand-over the facilities and documentations to the client according to the contract terms and conditions. The Project Close-out activity includes the preparation and development of project completion report (e.g. project histories and performance analysis with relevant raw data); project financial close out activities; archive project information to the corporate organization; appraisals and demobilize project people. Any minor open issues including agreed punch works to be performed during a turn-around work period; any minor unsolved claims with other parties; remaining financial follow-up activities such as a final payment to be paid after expiring of the warranty period and bond return can be handed-over to the corporate dedicated team.

    • The attached document contains some general guidance on the content of 'typical' Final Accounts and the settlement process under NZS 3910:2013.

    • The contents of this document go beyond the requirements of this Course by the amount of detail relevant to Contract Administration. It is however a document that I recommend you keep as a reference.
