Defining Closeout Authority

Closeout Authority is not a punch list service.

It is structured owner-side leadership at the final and highest-risk stage of development.

It means:

  • 100% verification — no sampling.
  • Alignment across ownership, architectural, and construction teams.
  • Embedded field presence during turnover and activation.
  • Prevention of recurring deficiencies before they scale.

Why Sampling Is Not Sufficient at Scale

In large hospitality projects and high-rise residential developments, sampling leaves exposure.

Conventional Risk

Sampling

  • Assumes uniform quality across repetitive spaces.
  • Misses pattern failures that multiply across floors.
  • Delays detection until deficiencies become guest-visible or resident-visible.
The GBT Standard

100% Verification

  • Identifies recurring issues early.
  • Protects against widespread defect replication.
  • Creates measurable accountability at turnover and activation.

How We Engage

GBT is engaged directly by ownership or in partnership with architectural and development teams.

PATHWAY 01

Direct owner representation during closeout.

PATHWAY 02

Support to architectural teams under construction administration.

PATHWAY 03

Independent oversight aligned with developer delivery standards.

Protecting What Matters Most

Closeout Authority protects three critical exposures:

Capital

Reducing post-opening cost acceleration and rework cycles.

Schedule

Preventing late-stage pattern failures from compounding delays.

Reputation

Ensuring brand-level presentation before first guest arrival or resident move-in.

Operating at Scale

12M+ deficiencies identified
28M+ photographs captured
25 world-class integrated resorts delivered
16 phased mega-resort openings supported

Scale without structure creates exposure.

Scale with authority protects it.

Authority at the Moment That Matters

If capital, schedule, and reputation must be protected at turnover or activation, engage Global Building Technologies. 

Global Building Technologies (GBT) is the Closeout Authority for Hospitality, Integrated Resorts, and Luxury High-Rise Condominiums, engaged directly by ownership or in partnership with architectural and development teams. GBT provides hotel punch list oversight, integrated resort closeout leadership, and pre-occupancy condominium QA/QC to protect capital, schedule, and reputation at turnover and activation.
