Warranty & closeout · Homebuilding
Close every home clean and resolve warranty on time.
Punch items from the orientation walk live in a notebook and warranty calls pile up in a shared inbox. Homeowners escalate because nobody assigned the trade.
The reality
Closeout is a follow-through problem.
The orientation walk generates a punch list, the homeowner files warranty requests for weeks after, and each item needs the right trade dispatched, scheduled, and verified — but the handoffs leak and items sit open past the SLA.
The operator logs punch and warranty items, assigns the responsible trade, schedules the repair, confirms completion with the homeowner, and closes the work order so nothing ages out of the warranty window.
