Closeout Early access
Warranties, O&M manuals, as-builts, training records, final lien waivers. Almost none of it is yours — it belongs to thirty subcontractors who have already demobilized. Ridgecap gives the package a home, a checklist, and a link you can send.
Built for mid-size general contractors. Nothing to install.
The problem
The package is being generated the whole time the job is running — every submittal approved, every system started up, every sub who finishes and leaves. It only becomes a crisis at the end because that is the first time anyone looks at it.
Five or so certificates are genuinely yours — the ones that gate the certificate of occupancy, in a fixed order, each waiting on the last. Everything else in the package has to be requested, chased, corrected and re-requested from a subcontractor whose final payment already cleared.
An unsigned warranty, the wrong form, last revision's as-built — all of them upload perfectly. Ridgecap treats an upload as evidence, never as satisfaction. Someone still has to accept it.
Forward, follow up, resend, escalate to the PM, escalate to the owner. Months of a project engineer's calendar disappear into a task that is fundamentally a list.
How it works
Start from a catalog of real closeout document types, cut it down to this job, and put each requirement against the subcontractor who owes it. Company templates carry forward to the next project.
Each subcontractor gets a private page listing exactly what they owe and nothing else. No account, no password, no attachment limits, no guessing which of the four emails was the current one.
Uploads land in review, not in the package. You accept, reject with a reason, or ask again — and the sub sees the same list update. When the last requirement clears, the project is capped.
Where it fits
Ridgecap is not a project management system and will never ask you to leave one. It owns a single deliverable — the closeout package — and stays out of RFIs, punch lists, submittals and drawings, because your PM system already does those and does them well.
Ridgecap Closeout is early and being built with contractors, not at them. If you run closeout for a mid-size GC, we would rather build against your actual job than a hypothetical one.
