Completion / Provisional Certificate Clause Samples

The Completion / Provisional Certificate clause defines the process by which a project or work is formally recognized as substantially complete, even if minor items remain unfinished. Typically, this clause outlines the criteria for issuing a provisional certificate, such as the completion of all major works and the readiness of the project for use, while listing outstanding minor tasks to be completed within a specified timeframe. Its core function is to allow the project to move forward—such as enabling occupancy or triggering payment milestones—while ensuring that any remaining work is documented and addressed, thus balancing the interests of both parties and facilitating project closure.
