The ConsensusDocs 782 – Certificate of Final Completion for Subcontract Work is a critical document used to formally certify that a subcontractor’s work on a construction project is fully completed in accordance with the contract documents. It establishes the official date of final completion—the point at which both the Constructor (general contractor, builder, design-builder, or construction manager) and the Subcontractor agree that all contracted work is finished, defect-free, and ready for full acceptance.

This form serves as an essential part of the project closeout process, as it marks the conclusion of the subcontractor’s responsibilities and signifies that the work complies with all performance, quality, and safety standards outlined in the contract. Importantly, the execution of the ConsensusDocs 782 triggers the release of retention—the portion of payment previously withheld to ensure final completion and quality assurance.

Final completion, as verified by this document, means that the subcontracted scope of work is free from patent (visible) defects, has passed final inspection, and satisfies all contractual and legal obligations. The form is particularly valuable for resolving any outstanding financial responsibilities and clearing the path for final payments.

Unlike other standard forms in the industry, the ConsensusDocs 782 is exclusive—there is no direct AIA equivalent, making it a unique and valuable tool for those using the ConsensusDocs contract suite. It provides a streamlined and reliable method to confirm full performance, mitigate disputes, and protect the interests of all parties involved in the subcontract.

For contractors, subcontractors, and project managers seeking a trusted document to officially close out subcontractor work, the ConsensusDocs 782 ensures compliance, clarity, and confidence at the end of every project phase.

We use ConsensusDocs documents whenever and wherever possible. We’ve found them to be clear, fair to all parties, and well-accepted by our clients. The content of the documents addresses all of the issues which are typically required for a good working relationship, without adding unnecessary complexity. Whether documenting the agreement between an Owner and Contractor, an Owner and Construction Manager, an Owner and Design-Builder or a Design-Builder and Design Professional, the ConsensusDocs work very well. We also use their performance and payment bond forms for all of our subcontractor bonds. Throughout our experience in using these documents, and we’ve used them for a number of years now, we have yet to encounter a situation where the documents failed to provide proper documentation of the contractual relationship. We recommend their use to all of our clients.
