Document background
The Project Completion Certificate is a critical document in New Zealand's construction and project management landscape, used to formally document and certify the successful completion of contracted works. This certificate is typically issued when all substantial work has been completed according to the contract specifications, relevant building codes, and local regulations. It serves multiple purposes: triggering final payment mechanisms under the Construction Contracts Act 2002, marking the commencement of the defects liability period, and providing formal documentation for asset handover. The certificate includes detailed information about the completed works, any outstanding minor defects, and compliance with regulatory requirements. It's particularly important in the context of New Zealand's building and construction regulations, where formal documentation of completion is often required for legal and insurance purposes.
