Document background
The Construction Work Completion Certificate is a mandatory document in Austrian construction projects, required under the Austrian Civil Code (ABGB) and local building regulations (Bauordnung). This certificate is issued upon successful completion of construction works and following thorough inspections to verify compliance with approved plans, building permits, and applicable regulations. It serves multiple purposes: it formally documents the completion of works, confirms compliance with safety and quality standards, enables the release of final payments, and is typically required for obtaining occupancy permits. The certificate must be issued before a building can be legally occupied and is crucial for insurance purposes and future property transactions. It includes detailed information about the construction project, compliance verifications, and any specific conditions or requirements that have been met.
