Only real negatives to the Employer to instruct CE’s after Completion is that the Contractor will not be pushed to carry out the works in a certain timescale, as they will no longer be threatened with delay damages if they have achieved Completion. Also the defect date will be fixed following Completion, so there will be e reduced period for the extra works for which the Contractor is liable to correct defects. You may also want to check things like insurances if that could be any issue.
