How to use this template
What it helps you decide
It anchors the Completion decision to the applicable contract and Scope, helping parties distinguish completed obligations, outstanding work, and separate takeover arrangements when administering the milestone and its actual consequences.
How to complete it
- Confirm Certificate and contract particulars from the NEC agreement, then identify the precise Scope certified and exclusions and applicable definition of Completion.
- Compare Evidence supporting the milestone with actual contract requirements, and record Outstanding items and reservations without substituting another contract form's completion test.
- State the Certification statement and contractual effect for the verified decision, attach supporting records, and complete Authorized issue and receipt using designated roles.
Who prepares and reviews it
The contract's designated certifying role leads the decision with evidence from construction, quality, commissioning, and operations personnel. Contract specialists check the applicable NEC form and amendments rather than assuming identical roles across all forms.
A mistake to avoid
Importing taking-over criteria from a different contract family can produce a Completion certificate that does not address the actual NEC agreement's requirements.
Illustrative example
Illustrative example: an NEC roadworks package is reviewed against the contract's requirements for Completion. The evidence file records completed access works and identifies an outstanding item whose effect needs assessment. The authorized role applies the actual contractual test and records the decision for the defined package.
