Acceptance of Defective Construction Sample Clauses

The Acceptance of Defective Construction clause defines the circumstances under which an owner may accept work that does not fully comply with the contract's quality or specification requirements. Typically, this clause allows the owner to choose to accept the defective work, often in exchange for a reduction in the contract price or another agreed remedy, rather than requiring the contractor to correct the defect. Its core practical function is to provide flexibility in project completion and to resolve minor defects efficiently, thereby avoiding delays and disputes over non-critical issues.
Acceptance of Defective Construction. A. If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of defective Construction, OWNER prefers to accept it, OWNER may do so. If any such acceptance occurs prior to final payment, a Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Construction; and OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount thereof, OWNER may make a claim therefor as provided in Article 15, subject to the provisions of paragraph 16.06
