During project closeout, the architect conducts final inspections, prepares punch lists, and issues certificates of substantial completion to mark the transition of responsibility. Payroll and maintenance are owner or contractor roles. Warranty repairs may involve the architect as a liaison but are typically contractor responsibilities. ARE 5.0 PjM includes closeout procedures in the construction administration phase.

I thought warranty repairs were usually handled by the contractor, so I'm not sure if that's something the architect would do during closeout.

I’m pretty certain that managing post-occupancy maintenance is part of the architect's role, but I can't recall if it's specifically tied to the closeout phase.

I remember a practice question that mentioned approving contractor payroll records, but I feel like that's more of a contractor's responsibility, not the architect's.

I think the architect's role in project closeout involves conducting final inspections, but I'm not entirely sure if they issue the certificates themselves.
