CPV 4545 – Other Finishing Works

What does CPV 4545 cover?

CPV 4545 covers finishing and completion works that are not classified under the more specific finishing trade groups within CPV 454. This includes facade cladding systems (ventilated facades with stone, metal, fibre cement or timber panels), metalwork and locksmith works (steel staircases, railings, gratings, louvres, sun shading systems), roofing and waterproofing works (flat roof membranes, sheet metal work, gutters, downpipes, snow guards), swimming pool construction and tiling, shop fitting and specialist interior fit-out, as well as curtain wall assembly and structural glazing installation.

In the context of public procurement, these specialist finishing works are awarded as individual lots and require specific technical expertise and certifications. Ventilated facade systems in particular involve significant regulatory requirements relating to fire protection (building regulations for cladding systems, EN 13501), wind load calculations and fixing system approvals. Roofing and waterproofing works are critical for building envelope performance and require specialist knowledge of membrane systems and junction detailing.

Public contracting authorities include state building authorities, school building authorities, hospital companies and all public organisations responsible for building construction and maintenance. The technical complexity of these works and the consequences of defects – particularly for facade and roofing works – make qualification evidence especially important. Further information on the CPV system is available from the European Commission (SIMAP) and in Regulation (EC) No 213/2008.
