Warranty Process
Responsibility: PM | Software Application: Procore
Schedule your project's RightFinish meeting. At this meeting, you will introduce the warranty process to the Owner so they know that you will be a contact for them if any Warranty Items come up.
Warranty Issues & Tracking
Responsibility: PM | Software Application: Procore
Procore should be used for identifying and tracking open warranty issues for the duration of the warranty period. The Owner can reach out to you directly with their Warranty Items, or to subcontractor from the project. The item will then need to be logged into the Observations Tool in Procore Project Tools from the dropdown menu.
Warranty issues will need to be investigated and assigned to the appropriate trade contractor(s). If an issue is not a warranty issue (added scope) it should be handled as an extra work item using the change management process.
11-Month Walkthrough
Responsibility: PM
11-Month Walkthrough should be held with the Owner and A/E, 11 months after Substantial Completion, to determine if there are any open warranty issues that need to be addressed prior to the end of the 1-year warranty period.
Best Practice
Schedule the 11-month walkthrough prior to demobilizing so that it is on everyone's calendars. It may need to be shifted once the date gets closer but this way it is not forgotten.
