## Summary

Grant-compliant fiber as-built documentation requires more than updated construction drawings. BEAD and ReConnect closeout packages require NTIA Broadband Data Collection GIS schema compliance, PE-stamped record drawings, GPS-tagged photo documentation, and submission formatting that matches each program office's data requirements. First-time submitters face common rejection triggers that add 30–90 days to project closeout.

## Key Topics

- What "grant-compliant" as-built documentation actually means vs. standard construction as-builts
- NTIA Broadband Data Collection schema — required GIS attribute fields, location records, technology codes
- PE sign-off — what the stamp certifies, what documentation it requires, state-specific variations
- Photo documentation standards — GPS tagging, coverage requirements, common gaps
- What gets rejected at grant closeout and why (GIS attribute errors, schema mismatch, photo gaps, stale PE stamp)
- How to spec as-built services upfront to avoid retrofit problems
- Why contractor as-builts are a starting point, not a finished grant deliverable
