Construction Contracts: Questions and Answers – Episode 21: Sectional Completion

In this episode, we dive into the concept of sectional completion in construction contracts, where a project is divided into distinct sections with separate completion dates. We explore how this approach allows parts of a project to be completed and handed over in stages, facilitating early occupancy or use while other sections continue under construction. Key topics include the contractual provisions for sectional completion, setting milestones for each section, and the implications for liquidated damages and extensions of time. We also address practical considerations such as coordinating resources, managing partial handovers, and ensuring clear communication with the client. This episode offers valuable insights for effectively implementing sectional completion, balancing project timelines, and fulfilling client needs.
