Document background
Certificates of Completion are essential documents in the Belgian construction and development industry, required under various provisions of Belgian law including the Civil Code and regional building regulations. These certificates are typically issued upon successful completion of construction works and following thorough inspection by relevant authorities and professionals. The document serves multiple purposes: it formally declares the completion of works, triggers the start of warranty periods, often enables final payment release, and may be required for occupancy permits. The Certificate of Completion must include specific details about the project, parties involved, and confirmations of compliance with various regulatory requirements. It's particularly important in both private and public construction projects, and may be required for insurance purposes, property transactions, or financing arrangements.
