摘要:One of the most important things for all the stakeholders engaged in practically any construction project is to finish it on schedule. For the entire project team, a late project completion brings plenty of issues. This report aims to establish some of the factors that contribute to project delays during the closeout phase and also to mitigate them. Analysis on standard operating procedures of the organization regarding closeout has been intensively done to identify the missing gap between what is prescribed and what is actually happening. Root cause analysis has later, been conducted to establish the root of the delay in terms of causes and mitigation measures has been suggested. Early project closeout planning, incentives for early completion, penalties for late completion, quick settlement of change orders, reduction of punch list items, and timely payments were all viewed as successful strategies for avoiding project closeout delays. Finally, in order to improve project closeout, the data revealed that financial incentives for on-time completion and penalties for delays might be an effective technique for resolving the problem.
