The owner wants to occupy an area with minor incomplete work remaining. What document/control is normally used?
Correct Answer
D) A substantial completion inspection with punch list and responsibilities.
Substantial completion is documented with remaining work and responsibilities so occupancy and closeout obligations are clear.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Substantial completion is documented with remaining work and responsibilities so occupancy and closeout obligations are clear.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: The owner should use a warranty-cost negotiation before any occupancy review
The trap in A is A bid protest letter. That selection is wrong because the option answers a paperwork, payment, or bonding issue.
Option B: Rely on the superintendent's visual judgment as enough evidence for substantial completion walk
Choice B gives A deleted submittal log. Its specific error: it removes the controlling Substantial completion walk requirement instead of meeting it.
Option C: The owner should use a general safety inspection unrelated to owner occupancy
Choice C (A scaffold tag.) is rejected because it answers the Substantial completion walk prompt with the wrong practical move.
Memory Technique
Remember substantial completion walk by its jobsite consequence: the correct move points to A substantial completion inspection with punch list and responsibilities.
Reference Hint
Open Construction Jobsite Management, 5th Ed. (2024); use by topic index - documentation / submittals / RFIs / closeout to confirm that Substantial completion is documented with remaining work and responsibilities so occupancy and closeout obligations are clear.
