Notice to Proceed (NTP Clause Samples

A Notice to Proceed (NTP) clause formally authorizes a contractor to begin work on a project, marking the official start date for contractual obligations and timelines. Typically, the NTP is issued after all preconditions, such as permits or approvals, are satisfied, and it may specify the exact date when work must commence. This clause ensures both parties are clear on when performance begins, helping to prevent disputes over scheduling and project deadlines.
