Facade Snags Closure Signoff Missing Before Retainage Release Email Template

Use this page when retainage release is delayed because the buyer says facade snags, envelope punch items, or glazing-defect closure signoff still has not been completed. This is different from a full performance-test report issue because it focuses on the final closure of discrete facade snag items after corrective work. The commercial problem is that the main facade package may already be finished, but retained money is still being withheld because the buyer has not formally closed the last snagging record. Your email should ask whether facade snags closure is the only remaining blocker, whether all punch items have already been corrected, who is assigned to carry out the final revisit, and whether retainage will be released once that closure signoff is recorded. The outcome you want is to move the dispute from open-ended facade concerns to one concrete snag-closure step with a responsible owner. It is commercially strong because retainage frequently remains overdue when the correction work is done but the buyer never completes the formal closure record.
