Site Surface and Subsurface Information Clause Samples

The 'Site Surface and Subsurface Information' clause defines the responsibilities and procedures regarding the disclosure and use of information about the physical characteristics of a project site, both above and below ground. Typically, this clause requires the party providing the site (often the owner) to share available data on soil conditions, groundwater, existing structures, or other relevant features, while also clarifying the extent to which this information can be relied upon by contractors. Its core function is to allocate risk and clarify expectations regarding unforeseen site conditions, helping to prevent disputes and delays arising from unexpected discoveries during construction.
