Document background
The Certificate of Completion (Construction) is a critical document in Austrian construction projects, required at the conclusion of construction works to formally document and certify project completion. It serves multiple purposes including triggering final payments, initiating warranty periods, and demonstrating compliance with building regulations. The certificate is mandated by Austrian construction law and follows requirements set out in the ABGB (Austrian Civil Code), local Bauordnung (building regulations), and 脰NORM B 2110 standards. This document is particularly important as it provides legal protection for both contractors and property owners, confirms compliance with building permits and regulations, and often serves as a prerequisite for occupancy permits. The Certificate of Completion (Construction) typically includes detailed inspection results, confirmation of works completed according to specifications, and may address any minor outstanding items or defects that need resolution.
