About the role

BuildingWorks creates a memory for buildings by handling 100% of construction closeout documentation, reducing timelines from 4-6 months to 30-60 days since 1999. We have completed 500+ projects for leading general contractors and building owners across 20+ states.

Responsibilities

• Document Collection and Management: Collect closeout documentation from general contractors and their subcontractors throughout construction. Track submission status, follow up on outstanding items, and ensure all required documents are received.
• Organization and Verification: Organize documentation in our DataSphere platform by system, room, manufacturer, and drawing number. Verify that submitted documentation matches contract requirements and installed equipment.
• Quality Assurance and Audit: Audit documentation packages for completeness and accuracy before delivery. Validate that the HVAC manual matches the installed equipment serial numbers, the electrical panel schedules reflect as-built conditions, and all required warranties are documented with proper start dates and coverage periods.
• Client Coordination: Work directly with project managers, project engineers, and subcontractors to collect documentation. Provide status updates to general contractors and participate in closeout coordination meetings. Train building owners and facility managers on DataSphere navigation and features upon project delivery.
• Project Management: Manage multiple projects simultaneously at different stages of completion. Track progress against milestone schedules and flag issues before they become problems.
