Completion of Contract Work

Substantial Completion of Work:
Substantial Completion of Work or designated portion thereof shall be that date, certified by the Architect, when the construction is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents, so the Owner can occupy or utilize the Work or designated portion thereof for the use for which it is intended. Substantial Completion shall occur:

  1. After the Contractor submits a list of items to be completed or corrected to the Architect.

  2. On the basis of the Architect's subsequent inspection of the premises.

  3. When the Architect issues a Certificate of Substantial Completion establishing the date of Substantial Completion, and stating the responsibilities of the Owner and the Contractor for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work, and insurance, and shall fix the time within which the Contractor shall complete the items listed therein.

Final completion:
Upon receipt of written notice that the Work is ready for final inspection and acceptance and upon receipt of a final Application for Payment, the Architect will promptly make such inspection and, when he finds the Work acceptable under the Contract Documents and the Contract fully performed, he will issue a final Certificate for Payment stating that the Work has been completed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Contract Documents and that the entire balance due the Contractor, and noted in said final Certificate, is due and payable. The final Certificate for Payment will constitute a representation that the conditions precedent to the Contractor's being entitled to final payment have been fulfilled.
