Document background
The Certificate of Completion of Work is a critical document in Saudi Arabian construction and development projects, serving as official confirmation that contracted works have been completed to the required standards. This certificate is mandated by Saudi construction regulations and is essential for project closure, final payments, and compliance with local authority requirements. It should be issued when all contracted works are substantially complete, all major deliverables have been accepted, and the work meets the quality standards specified in the contract. The document typically includes technical assessments, compliance verifications, and necessary approvals from relevant Saudi authorities. It plays a crucial role in triggering warranty periods, releasing retentions, and closing out contractual obligations between parties. The certificate must comply with Saudi law and may be required for various administrative processes, including municipality clearances and occupancy permits.
