Sectional completion in construction contracts
Hi
I note sectional completion may not include the completed M&E or other element etc depending on how it is detailed in the contract docs.
What about partial possession (which I know is not preplanned) . Can partial possession cert be issued of there are still outstanding issues such as M&E, fire alarm etc.
Presumably not because it has to be complete ?

- All the things you need to do for completion apply to sectional completion (while listing any outstanding work such as commissioning and O and M manuals and as built drawings which embrace all sections).
- Sectional completion requirements must be either stipulated in tender documentation or be agreed by both parties and incorporated as an instruction.
- It requires a certificate and sets out the percentage release of retention. In effect it follows normal handover procedures but applicable to a defined area. It normally excludes mechanical and electrical
- service systems which are reliant on total completion before they can be properly tested and commissioned.
- This means that their needs to be an agreed protocol for re-entry into handed over areas for the contractors to complete outstanding work.
- Insurance provisions as well as security and access are issues of responsibility that should be addressed prior to granting sectional completion.
This project is under construction. Certain section is completed. Can we make sectional completion even there is not stated sectional completion in the document contract. Does it wrong contractually?
Sectional completion is agreed before the contract is entered into. Partial possession or early use can be agreed whilst the contract is running.
