Frequently asked questions
Why is a handover act needed?
The act documents that the works are completed and handed over. It is proof of performance, a basis for payment and the point from which the warranty period starts.
What if the works have defects?
The act can be marked “accepted with remarks”, listing the defects and a deadline to fix them. The contractor remedies them at its own cost within that deadline.
Does the act confirm payment?
The act confirms the handover of works, not payment. However it can state the remaining amount due, and the act serves as a basis for issuing an invoice.
How does the act differ from the contract?
The contract sets the agreement before the works, while the act records the handover after they are done. The two documents complement each other.
