Take 5 Oil Change

TrustEra was brought in to stabilize and close out a stalled retail construction project that had remained incomplete for nearly two years under a previous contractor.

The objective was clear: identify deficiencies, correct outstanding issues, complete all inspections, and deliver a fully operational facility—fast.

Project Background

• Project remained active for ~24 months without permit closeout
• Multiple inspections were never scheduled or completed
• Construction documents were inconsistent and not aligned with field conditions
• Significant scope remained incomplete across multiple trades

The project required not just completion—but full reconstruction of accountability, documentation, and execution.

TrustEra began with a comprehensive assessment:

• Identified all open, failed, and missing inspections
• Cross-referenced field conditions against approved plans
• Created a clear path to compliance and closeout

Inspection & Closeout Strategy

• Coordinated and scheduled all outstanding inspections
• Worked directly with inspectors to resolve deficiencies in real time
• Closed out over 20+ outstanding inspections

Trade Coordination & Completion

• Mobilized subcontractors to complete missing scope across all trades
• Corrected non-compliant installations
• Delivered fully functional systems including:
  • Plumbing
  • Electrical
  • HVAC
  • Site and civil components

Execution Under Time Constraints

After nearly two years of stalled progress, TrustEra:

• Re-established project control
• Sequenced remaining work efficiently
• Delivered full project closeout in approximately 90 days

Results

• Achieved full permit closeout after prolonged project stagnation
• Completed and corrected all outstanding work across trades
• Restored project alignment with approved plans and inspection requirements
• Delivered a fully operational facility within a compressed timeline
