What the law actually says
- •A closeout package is a contract deliverable, not a single statute, but it collects things that are legally required, like the certificate of occupancy and passed permit inspections.
- •It also gathers the warranties, as-builts, and final lien waivers that most owners and general contractors require before they release final payment.
