Commencement Date and Substantial Completion Clause Samples

The 'Commencement Date and Substantial Completion' clause defines when a project officially begins and establishes the criteria or date by which substantial completion is achieved. Typically, it specifies the exact start date for the contractor’s work and outlines what constitutes substantial completion, such as when the project is sufficiently finished for its intended use, even if minor work remains. This clause is essential for setting clear timelines, coordinating project milestones, and determining when responsibilities shift, thereby reducing disputes over project delays and completion status.
Commencement Date and Substantial Completion. § 9.1 Subcontract Time is the period of time, including authorized adjustments, allotted in the Subcontract Documents for Substantial Completion of the Work described in the Subcontract Documents. Contractor will establish each Project’s commencement date in the Notice to Proceed. § 9.2 The Work of this Subcontract shall be substantially completed not later than the date established in the Notice to Proceed, subject to adjustments of this Subcontract Time as provided in the Subcontract Documents. Subcontractor is not responsible for an Owner’s or Contractor’s delays, if any. § 9.3 With respect to the obligations of both Contractor and Subcontractor, time is of the essence of this Subcontract. § 9.4 No extension of time is enforceable without Contractor’s written consent.
