Document background
The Certificate of Partial Completion is a crucial document in Danish construction projects where work is completed and handed over in phases. It is primarily used in larger construction projects where sequential completion of different project components is necessary for practical or commercial reasons. The certificate, regulated under Danish law and particularly AB 18, provides formal documentation that specific portions of the contracted works have been completed to the required standard, enabling partial occupation or use of the completed sections. This document triggers various contractual mechanisms including payment milestones, transfer of risk, and commencement of warranty periods for the completed portions. It typically includes detailed descriptions of the completed works, inspection records, and may address any minor defects or outstanding works that don't prevent partial completion. The certificate is particularly important for projects involving multiple phases, complex handover requirements, or where interim payments are linked to completion of specific project elements.
