Not So Easy‑PC: Completing Problematic Projects

Arrive team, an origin story by Russell-Cooke Solicitors.

This seminar provides a focused and practical examination of practical completion from the perspective of both architects and contract administrators. It explores what practical completion truly means in contractual terms, why it plays such a pivotal role in project delivery, and how misunderstandings can escalate into disputes.

It is designed to help professionals recognise the risks and challenges that arise when projects approach completion, understand the contractual implications of getting it wrong, and manage the process with confidence and clarity.

Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the legal framework surrounding practical completion, the responsibilities placed on duty‑holders, and the practical steps contract administrators should take when disagreements emerge over whether a project is ready to be certified.
