Document background
The Project Completion Certificate is a crucial document in Qatar's construction and development sector, marking the formal completion of works and transition of responsibility from contractor to owner. It is required under Qatar's Construction Engineering Law and civil code, serving as a prerequisite for obtaining final payment, release of retention money, and commencement of the defects liability period. The certificate confirms that all works have been completed according to contract specifications, local building regulations, and safety standards. It typically includes details of any minor outstanding works, confirmation of handover of as-built documentation, and relevant statutory approvals. This document is particularly important in Qatar's rapidly developing construction sector, where it provides legal protection for both employers and contractors while ensuring compliance with strict local building and safety regulations.
