For construction to be considered complete under PD 957, what level of completion is required?

Under PD 957, for construction to be deemed complete, it is essential that it meets the standard of "complete." This means that all aspects of the construction project, including both structural integrity and finishing touches, must be finalized and in good condition. A completed structure is one that is fully functional, safe for occupancy, and compliant with all relevant regulations and standards.

Partial or incomplete works would not satisfy the requirements of PD 957 as they would leave significant elements unfinished, potentially jeopardizing safety or usability. Similarly, a structure that is under renovation would indicate that it is still undergoing changes and is not ready for occupancy or use. Thus, only a fully complete construction qualifies under the stipulations of PD 957, ensuring that new homeowners or occupants receive properties that are ready and safe for immediate use.
