Closeout comes down to the minutes

Anyone who has negotiated a closeout knows this. Both sides bring a number, and the gap is argued from the minutes. Reading every set against the change order log and your claim takes days, and the deadline is already running.

One case on our Try page: a street job closing out with the city. Yesper built the chronology and the settlement statement from the minutes and the COR log. One change order request was counted twice. Another had no signed authorization but approved minutes behind it. Corrected and with the time extension, the balance due is $532,860 against the city's $283,430.

You know which lines hold before the settlement meeting. The double count is gone before the owner finds it. Same for the neighbouring jobs on the Try page: a rebuttal of liquidated damages, claims from the site diaries, a final pay application.
