−	The occupation and defects liability period (equivalent to RIBA stage L1: rectification period) follows practical completion. It is the stage after the client has taken possession of the development for occupation when any defects are rectified and the final certificate is issued signifying that the construction works have been fully completed. As the development is now occupied, and the management contractor no longer has possession of the site, close co-operation is required between the management contractor and the client so as so not to disturb occupants, whose activities will take priority over works contractors rectifying defects. This may involve out of office hours working.
