Document · Planning and construction

Act Form 15

A record stating that the construction is ready for acceptance. It describes the work and supporting documents, but does not authorize use of the building.

The short answerAct Form 15 records whether the construction is ready for acceptance. In it, the statutory participants describe the completed works against the approved design and certified as-built documentation, as well as the builder's handover of the construction and its documents to the developer. This is an important late documentary stage, but it is not the colloquial "permission to move in". The act itself may contain remarks and refer only to a certain phase, block or part.
When will you need it?

Compiled after completion of acceptance construction and prior to the applicable commissioning procedure. Between Act 15 and the final act there may be additions of documents, checks and troubleshooting.

Who issues or signs it?

It is signed by the intended participants - developer, builder, designers, construction supervision and others according to the category and the case. Signatures and representation are part of the verification, not a formal detail.

Why does it matter to the buyer?

The buyer understands that the project has reached the acceptance phase, but needs to see exactly what has been accepted and with what caveats. This affects expectations for final clearance, contract payments and handover preparations.

What the document proves

What can you establish from it?

Each document answers a different question. A single document is rarely enough to prove title, completed construction work and the basis for payment at the same time.

What does it establish?

Establishes the described condition, the suitability for acceptance and the completion of the documentation for the specific construction, part or stage. What exactly it proves depends on its content and applications.

What does it not establish?

It does not authorize occupancy, is not a permit to occupy or a certificate of occupancy and does not prove ownership, absence of encumbrances, payment, quality without defects or delivery of a particular apartment to the buyer.

What to look for in the document

Which details should you compare?

Check the permit, category, PI and UPI, block, stage and description of construction, date, participants, signatures, remarks, attachments and as-built documentation. Compare them with the subsequent final deed - both documents must actually include your building.

Place in the process

What comes before and after?

Before it are the implementation, Act 14, the tests and the documentation of what was done. It is followed by the applicable checks and Protocol form 16/use permit or entry certificate according to the category.

Where the document comes from

Finding and checking it

Can Mesto find it?

Mesto cannot get Act 15 itself in any case. A public record of another administrative act or allegation of the seller does not mean that Act 15 has been found and reviewed.

Where should you check or request it?

Request the complete deed and attachments from the contractor, seller or construction supervisor. If necessary, consult the competent construction file.

One last check before you decide

When do you need a professional review?

An engineer reviews comments, tests and technical readiness. A lawyer compares the subject matter and the date with the contract, the payment clauses and the transaction being prepared.
