what is a certificate of final completion?

if you're a construction contractor, you can use a certificate of final completion to certify that a project you are responsible for has been finished. this document states that you have concluded work on a specific construction contract, so that you are no longer responsible for last-minute changes or attempted negotiations. a certificate of final completion provides you with a paper trail for your own records. 
 
a certificate of final completion specifies the main parties of the construction project (such as the owner of the building, contractor, and architectural/engineering firm), and states when construction began, the final date that major work on the project was completed, and the final construction cost paid and owed to the contractor. a lender or housing authority may require a certificate of final completion before releasing final payment to the contractor, or sending an inspector to review the property. you can also use a certificate of final completion to document the acceptance of the final work, and the start date of the warranty period on the project.

when to use a certificate of final completion:

  • you are a contractor working on a construction project and you want to certify you have completed the required work.
