Contractor compiled a complete roof final report with photos and manufacturer sheets
Project used an inspector's signed report to document completed repairs
The project manager certifies that work was completed to contract specifications, compiles supporting documents and coordinates corrective actions. Their signature confirms contractor responsibilities are met and triggers administrative closeout steps such as lien waiver submission and final invoice.
The owner or their representative reviews findings, accepts final condition or lists outstanding items, and authorizes final payment. Their sign‑off documents acceptance for warranty activation and permit closeout where municipal approval is required.
