Illustrative example on the topic: Construction status
To illustrate the concept of construction status, let’s look at a fictitious new construction project in Dubai: the development of a modern apartment complex in Dubai Marina. During the planning phase, the construction status was listed as „In Planning“, which meant that all the necessary permits had been applied for. As soon as construction work started, the construction status changed to „Under construction“. After three months of intensive construction, progress was recorded in a monthly report and the status was updated. Finally, after one and a half years, the construction status was set to „Completed“, followed by a positive acceptance by the authorities. The buyers were now able to move into their new flats and the investors were delighted with their early return.
