Document background
The Certificate of Completion and Compliance is a critical document in Canadian construction and development projects, required upon completion of construction or renovation work. This certificate serves as formal verification that all work has been completed in accordance with approved plans, specifications, and regulatory requirements. It is typically required for obtaining occupancy permits, releasing final payments, and closing out construction projects. The document encompasses various aspects of compliance, including building codes, safety standards, technical specifications, and professional certifications. It must be issued by qualified professionals such as engineers or architects, depending on the project scope and jurisdiction. The Certificate of Completion and Compliance is particularly important for liability protection, insurance purposes, and maintaining regulatory compliance across federal, provincial, and municipal levels.
