Finishing close-out team in a new Vancouver tower

Occupancy dates do not move.
Neither should your finishing scope.

On a tower handover the finishing scope is where the schedule leaks: six subtrades, six mobilizations and six invoices for damage that is mostly cosmetic. We price the whole finishing scope per suite and run it as one contract against your occupancy date.

Tower close-out — 118 suites

One subcontract instead of six. One schedule to manage.
Arithmetic

Repairing instead of replacing.

By close-out the material is installed, the trades are demobilized and the calendar is fixed. At that point replacement is rarely a materials decision — it is a schedule decision.

Where an item genuinely needs replacement we flag it during the pricing walk rather than at the end. You find out in week one, not in week six.

Method

How we run a tower.

Sequenced against your handover, not against our convenience.

01

Pricing walk

We walk a representative sample of suites with your team and return a per-suite rate plus unit rates for items that fall outside it. You get a budget number before commitment.

02

Sequenced against handover

Work is scheduled by floor and by occupancy date, coordinated with your remaining trades so finished work is not damaged twice.

03

Protection of completed work

Containment and floor protection on every visit, and damage caused by other trades after our sign-off quoted separately rather than absorbed silently.

04

Close-out file

Per-suite photo documentation returned against your deficiency tracking system, so the handover package is assembled as the work happens.
