Document background
The Certificate of Satisfactory Completion is a crucial document in the UAE construction and development sector, required for formal project closure and handover processes. This certificate is issued when all contractual works have been completed to the required standard, inspected, and approved by relevant authorities. It serves as a key milestone document that triggers several important processes including the release of final payments, commencement of warranty periods, and transfer of responsibility from contractor to owner. Under UAE law, particularly relevant to Dubai and Abu Dhabi jurisdictions, this certificate must comply with local municipality regulations and federal construction laws. The document is essential for both public and private sector projects and often serves as a prerequisite for obtaining other operational permits and clearances.
