Completion of construction means bringing the house to a state in which it can be used for its intended purpose. This does not necessarily mean that all the finishing work has been completed. You may have a house that is ready, but where the walls still need painting or some fittings still need to be installed. It is important that the building is safe and fit for habitation.
However, the completion of the work does not mean that you can move in straight away. In the case of most detached houses, you need to notify the district building control authority that construction has been completed. The required documents, including a statement from the site manager and surveying documentation, must be attached to the notification. If the building control authority raises no objection within 14 days of receiving the complete notification, the house may be occupied. In certain situations, however, it is necessary to obtain occupancy permits.
It is also worth bearing in mind that The completion of a house’s construction and its technical handover are two different things. The handover serves to check the quality of the work carried out and to identify any defects. Completion of construction, on the other hand, involves bringing the building up to the required standard and completing the formalities required before moving in. This applies to both brick-built houses and Wascovilla prefabricated houses.
