What is the fifth stage in DB Leadership?

• A. Closeout and Commissioning
• B. Construction
• C. Design integration and advancement
• D. Project pursuit and procurement

Answer: (A)

The final phase of the DBIA design-build leadership sequence centers on closing out the project and getting the building ready for operation. This stage is where the project is completed, verified, and handed over to the owner as a fully functional facility. It includes finalizing any remaining construction work, conducting system commissioning to confirm that all components perform to the required criteria, and delivering key documents such as as-built drawings, operation and maintenance manuals, warranties, and training for the owner's staff. It also covers resolving punch-list items, obtaining occupancy approvals, and ensuring a smooth transition to operations and maintenance. This phase follows the actual construction work and the earlier design integration and advancement activities, and it comes after the initial pursuit and procurement steps that set up the project team and contracts.
