【Haichuan Civil Engineering Issues】Has the final settlement for the individual construction phases of your project been completed?

Construction project acceptance can generally be divided into two categories: final acceptance and acceptance by sub-projects. Completion acceptance is the overall inspection carried out after the project is fully completed. Article 789 of the Civil Code stipulates that upon the completion of a construction project, the employer shall conduct an inspection in a timely manner in accordance with the construction drawings and specifications, as well as the construction acceptance standards and quality inspection criteria issued by **. In accordance with the Regulations on Quality Management of Construction Projects, after receiving the completion report of a construction project, the project owner shall organize relevant entities such as the design team, the construction team, and the project supervision team to carry out the completion inspection. Partial acceptance is a phased inspection carried out after the completion of individual construction tasks. Typically, industrial and civil buildings include various components such as foundations and substructures, the main structural framework, decorative finishes, plumbing and electrical systems, fire protection measures, doors and windows, and roof waterproofing. These sub-projects are relatively independent; even in the event that the construction contract is invalid, they can still be inspected separately, and compensation at a discounted rate can be provided upon successful inspection.

Why are there still so many projects that, even after completion and acceptance, fail to receive payment?
