I notice in the contract that the Employer has to “take over” the works within two weeks of Completion. What are the implications of this to the Contractor? If the Completion Date is the 2nd May and they finish all the works exactly on that day and the Project Manager certifies “Completion” on 2nd May, but the Employer has no plans to move in or operate it for a further two weeks, what liability does the Contractor have for those two weeks? Particularly in terms of security, insurance and protecting the works.
