(a-c) No. A final cost reconciliation can only occur upon resolution of all project related matters including consultancy and construction contracts, information technology, and furniture procurement. Typically project completion occurs upon finalisation of the main construction contract which requires the rectification of building defects and resolution of all builders' claims. This occurs after completion of the 12-month contractual defects liability period which, for this project expires, in October 2013.
