A structure is complete when the exterior is basically complete, with no major details remaining in its construction, and it is at least partly ready for its intended use. Fit-out of interior spaces may continue for any length of time after completion; it is not necessary for spaces inside to be occupied, as long as they are ready for hand-over to the occupant(s) without major structural work remaining.

Full occupancy is not a condition of completion. Some interior fit-out can remain while the exterior is basically finished and at least part of the structure is ready for its intended use.

Framework completion establishes that the load-bearing members are assembled. That earlier milestone alone does not show that the exterior or usable space meets the completion requirements.
