How Digital Tools Simplify Project Closeouts and Retention

The release of retention money marks the final financial conclusion of the contractual obligations for the project, but for many contractors, it often becomes the most prolonged and challenging part of the process.

Unlike typical financial holds, last 5% of retention money is often only released after defects liability period, ensuring all installed products perform flawlessly and there are no issues during the warranty period.

Any unresolved snags, punch lists, or incomplete documentation can delay this release, making the final stretch of a project feel like the toughest.

This is where digital tools are transforming project closeouts.

By managing inspections, submittals, and closeout deliverables in a single platform, project teams can track every document, approval, and handover item, ensuring issues are addressed proactively and warranty obligations are met.

At CloseoutSoft, we believe retention shouldn’t be a prolonged battle, should be a natural outcome of a well-documented, well-managed project that guarantees both quality and client trust over the warranty period.
