Completion and acceptance refers to the process after the construction project is completed.
The process of obtaining the completion and qualification documents, data, and proof, where the investment authorities, along with departments such as construction, design, construction, equipment supply, and quality supervision of construction projects, inspect whether the project meets the planning and design requirements and the quality of construction and equipment installation.
Completion and acceptance of the project is a crucial step in evaluating the construction work, ensuring compliance with design requirements and the quality of construction. It plays a significant role in promoting the timely operation of construction projects (engineering), realizing the investment effects, and summarizing construction experience.
It should be noted that the final acceptance is based on phased acceptance. Generally, projects that have already been accepted in the earlier stages are not re-inspected during the final acceptance of the building.
Inspection Object
All new, expanded, or reconstructed capital construction projects (projects) and technical transformation projects, upon completion according to the approved design documents and meeting the acceptance standards, must be promptly organized for acceptance and the procedures for transferring fixed assets must be handled.
Acceptance Criteria
The basis for the completion and acceptance of the project can be summarized in the following nine points:
(1) Various documents approved for this project by the superior competent authority;

Fold Edit This Section Acceptance Categories
Unit Project (or Specialized Project) Completion Object
Contracting construction work independently based on unit projects or specific engineering scopes, the contractor can complete the handover individually upon reaching the completion conditions. The owner shall organize the acceptance inspection according to the basis and standards of the final acceptance, in accordance with the engineering scope stipulated in the construction contract, providing flexibility to the general nature of engineering contracting. Under the current standards for dividing construction projects, a unit project is a component of a single project, with independent construction drawings. After the contractor completes the work and obtains the owner's consent, or if the original contract already specifies this, a phased acceptance can be conducted. This method of acceptance is commonly found in larger, collective, and technically complex construction projects. With China's entry into the World Trade Organization, there will be an increasing number of projects in the construction sector utilizing foreign investment or cooperation. The adoption of international practices will also become more prevalent. The practice of phased or intermediate acceptance aligns with international conventions, effectively controlling the quality of individual, sub-unit, and unit projects, ensuring the achievement of the systematic objectives of construction projects.
Inspection Procedure
Application Report
Upon completion of the project's acceptance criteria, the contractor may submit the final acceptance application report to the supervisor.
2. Inspection
Upon receiving the completion application report submitted by the contractor as required, the supervisor shall review all contents of the application report and handle them accordingly based on different situations.
3. Unit Project Acceptance
The employer may conduct the acceptance inspection of individual units before the completion of the entire project, according to the progress schedule of the contract, or when the contractor proposes and the employer agrees. Upon successful inspection, the supervisor will issue an acceptance certificate for the individual unit, signed by the employer.
4. Construction Period Operation
This refers to the fact that the contract project has not been fully completed, but certain units or components of the project or the installation of engineering equipment have been completed. According to the terms of the contract, those that need to be put into operation during the construction period must undergo acceptance by the contractor, which is deemed合格 upon proof of safety, before they can be put into operation during the construction period.
5. Pilot Run
6. Completion Site Clearance
Subject to any special provisions in the contract, the contractor shall, upon issuance of the acceptance certificate for the project, organize the construction site in accordance with the requirements. The cost of clearing the site upon completion shall be borne by the contractor until the supervisor deems it satisfactory.
