This may be a silly question, but can someone actually define "Practical Completion" for me.
I am currently invloved in a refit of a building's (shopping Centre) air con, which comprises 4 pipe Fan Coil Units (LTHW & CHW). This has been completed, and during the course once each FCU was complete (our portion) the unit was left to operate which it did, until the controls contractor completed his works. Because this was done at nights (Tenancy was always open in day) this took some time to complete. My problem now is that some units have been running for 12 months, with out "Practcal Completion" being awarded and hence our 12 month maintenance period has yet to begin.
What I am trying to determine, or imply to Client, is that our works were "Practically Complete" once we finished our works, and should not have to wait on others to complete theirs before we are awarded "PC". Does this sopund resonable.
