Document background
The Certificate of Acceptance and Completion is a crucial document in project delivery and contract administration under English and Welsh law. It marks the formal transition point where works or services are deemed complete and accepted by the client. This certificate is typically issued when all substantive works have been completed in accordance with the contract specifications, though minor defects may still be subject to rectification. The document serves multiple purposes, including triggering final payment obligations, commencing warranty periods, and marking the transfer of risk and responsibility. It provides clear evidence of project completion and can be crucial for both contractual and administrative purposes.
