Document background
The Project Completion Certificate is a crucial document in Belgian construction and development projects, required when a contractor has completed their contracted works and seeks formal acceptance from the client. This certificate, regulated under Belgian law including the Civil Code and specific construction regulations, serves multiple important functions: it marks the official completion and handover of the project, triggers the commencement of warranty periods, enables the release of retention monies, and often facilitates final payment. The document must comply with Belgian regulatory requirements and typically includes detailed information about the completed works, compliance with specifications, any outstanding minor works or defects, and relevant technical approvals. It's particularly important as it provides legal protection for both clients and contractors by clearly documenting the project's completion status and any conditions attached to the handover.
