Phase 4 - Execute
Overview
This phase focuses on validating the completed works through Building Control checks, practical completion inspections, commissioning of all systems, and resolution of any outstanding defects. Formal handover documentation is issued to the client, including O&M manuals, as‑builts, warranties, and compliance records. Commercial close‑out activities—such as final account agreement, retention management, and bond closure—are completed in parallel.
The team conducts a structured lessons‑learned review, manages the Defects Liability Period, and issues the Final Completion Certificate once all obligations have been met. Client‑facing deliverables, such as case studies, photography, and satisfaction surveys, close the phase.
