Document background
The Certificate of Work Completion Template is a crucial document in construction and development projects under English and Welsh law. It is typically issued when works have reached practical completion and serves multiple purposes: it triggers the release of final payments, marks the commencement of the defects liability period, and transfers responsibility for the works to the client. The certificate should be issued when all major works are complete, though minor defects may still be present if they don't interfere with the use of the works. It includes details of the project, parties involved, scope of completed works, and any outstanding minor items to be addressed.
