OIG recommends that the Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations establish and implement procedures, when circumstances warrant deviation from standard construction project closeout procedures, that require the Project Director to justify and document the decision to issue the Certificate of Substantial Completion before all major building systems are tested and commissioned, including how such decisions influence project milestones, the additional costs to be incurred, and the projected final acceptance date of the project.
