When all the work called for in a contract has been completed, this is referred to as what?

• A. Substantial Completion
• B. Final Performance
• C. Full Compliance
• D. Completed Operations

Answer: (D)

Completed operations coverage addresses liability for damages that arise after the insured’s work on a project is finished and handed over. When all the work called for in a contract has been completed, the exposure shifts to what happens as a result of that finished work, and claims can occur later. This is exactly what completed operations is designed to cover: bodily injury or property damage stemming from the insured’s completed work, even after it’s completed and in use or away from the insured’s premises. Substantial completion, by contrast, is a construction milestone signaling the project is largely done and usable, often with punch list items remaining, not the point at which all work is finished. The other terms aren’t standard labels for the post‑completion liability scenario.
