The date at which the work or building project, or a designated portion of the work or building project thereof is sufficiently complete, in accordance with the construction contract documents, so that the owner may use or occupy the work or building project or designated portion thereof for the intened use for which it is originally designed and intended for.
This would include the completion of all life saftey systems, weathertight envelope, and adequate protection of building occupants and or equipment is ensured from hazzards posed by additional or possible construction activities or other potential harmful conditions that may exist or become evident during the final work effort to complete the project per the construction contract documents.
This date is then certified by the architect to the owner or client. From this date a number of other provisions are started such as warranty, guaranties, and liabilities
