Substantial Completion Clause Samples

The Substantial Completion clause defines the point at which a construction project or a specified portion of it is sufficiently finished so that the owner can occupy or use it for its intended purpose, even if minor work remains. Typically, this status is determined by the architect or project manager, and it may trigger important contractual events such as the start of warranty periods, release of retainage, or transfer of responsibility for insurance and maintenance. The core function of this clause is to clearly establish when the contractor’s primary obligations are met, reducing disputes over project completion and facilitating a smooth transition to project closeout.

Architect, Project Manager and MSG shall inspect the Work. If, after making such inspection, Architect, Project Manager and MSG determine that the Work has not achieved Substantial Completion or that previously scheduled Punchlist Items have not been completed, then Contractor shall complete or rectify the elements of the Work that Project Manager, Architect and MSG identified as requiring completion or rectification in order for the Work to achieve Substantial Completion. Contractor shall thereafter notify MSG and Project Manager that it considers the Work to have achieved Substantial Completion and the process set forth in this Section 13.15.2 shall repeat until such time as Substantial Completion is achieved. 13.15.3 When Project Manager, Architect and MSG, on the basis of inspections and otherwise, determine all of the criteria for Substantial Completion have been met, and the Punchlist Items have been agreed, Project Manager will prepare, upon MSG’s direction, a Certificate of Substantial Completion in the form attached hereto as Schedule P that establishes the date of Substantial Completion and attaches the Punchlist.
Substantial Completion. ‌ 9.7.1 When Contractor gives notice to City that the Work, or portion thereof designated by City for separate delivery, is Substantially Complete, unless City determines that the Work or designated portion thereof is not sufficiently complete to warrant an inspection to determine Substantial Completion, Design Professional or Construction Manager will inspect the Work, or such designated portion thereof, and prepare and give to Contractor a comprehensive list of items, if any, to be completed or corrected before establishing Substantial Completion. Contractor shall promptly proceed to complete and correct items on the list. Failure to include an item on such list does not alter the responsibility of Contractor to complete all Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. City will then make a further inspection to determine whether the Work or such designated portion thereof is Substantially Complete. If City's inspection discloses any item, whether or not included on the list, which must be completed or corrected before Substantial Completion, Contractor shall, before City’s issuance of the Certificate of Substantial Completion, complete or correct such item. Contractor shall then submit a request for another inspection by City to determine Substantial Completion. 9.7.2 When City determines that the Work or such designated portion thereof is Substantially Complete, City will prepare a Certificate of Substantial Completion on City's form, which when signed by City shall establish the date of Substantial Completion and the responsibilities of City and Contractor for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, insurance, completion of minor items and correction or repair of the Work or such designated portion thereof. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Substantial Completion, the Guarantee To Repair Period for the Work (which is defined in Article 12, Section 12.2.1), or such designated portion thereof covered by the Certificate of Substantial Completion, excluding any systems provided by Separate Contractors which are not yet fully operational or accepted by City, shall commence on the date of Substantial Completion of the Work or such designated portion thereof. The Guarantee To Repair Period for systems which become fully operational or Accepted subsequent to Substantial Completion will begin on the later of the date they are operational or Acceptance of the Project by City.
Substantial Completion. A. The Date of Substantial Completion of each JOC Task Order, or designated portion thereof, is the date certified by the County or the A-E when construction is sufficiently complete, to allow the County to occupy or use the work, or designated portion thereof, for the use for which it is intended. B. When Contractor considers that the work, or designated portion thereof which is acceptable to the County, is substantially complete as defined in the JOC Task Order, the Contractor shall prepare for the County a list of items to be completed or corrected and request, in writing, that the work be inspected for substantial completion determination. Failure to include any items on such a list does not alter the responsibility of the Contractor to complete all work in accordance with the JOC Task Order. When the County or the A-E, on the basis of an inspection, jointly determine that the work or designated portion thereof, is substantially complete, they will then prepare and issue a written notification which will establish the date of substantial completion, state the responsibilities of the County and the Contractor for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the work, and insurance, and fix the time within which the Contractor shall complete the items listed therein. Warranties required by the JOC Task Order shall not commence until the date of final completion of the work, or designated portion thereof, unless otherwise provided in the Notification of Substantial Completion or the JOC Task Order. The Notification of Substantial Completion shall be submitted to the Contractor for his written acceptance of the responsibilities assigned to him. C. Should the County or the A-E determine that the work, or the portion thereof designated by Contractor, is not substantially complete, they shall provide the Contractor a written notice stating why the work or designated portion thereof is not substantially completed. The Contractor shall expeditiously complete the work and shall submit a second written request that the County or the A-E perform a Substantial Completion inspection. The Contractor shall pay the County for all costs associated with such re-inspection by the A-E. D. The acceptance of Substantial Completion payment shall constitute a waiver of all claims by the Contractor except those previously made in writing and identified by the Contractor as unsettled at the time of the Progress Payment Request for substantial completion payment, except for ...
Substantial Completion. A. When CONTRACTOR considers the entire Work ready for its intended use CONTRACTOR shall notify OWNER and ENGINEER in writing that the entire Work is substantially complete (except for items specifically listed by CONTRACTOR as incomplete) and request that ENGINEER issue a certificate of Substantial Completion. Promptly thereafter, OWNER, CONTRACTOR, and ENGINEER shall make an inspection of the Work to determine the status of completion. If ENGINEER does not consider the Work substantially complete, ENGINEER will notify CONTRACTOR in writing giving the reasons therefor. If ENGINEER considers the Work substantially complete, ENGINEER will prepare and deliver to OWNER a tentative certificate of Substantial Completion which shall fix the date of Substantial Completion. There shall be attached to the certificate a tentative list of items to be completed or corrected before final payment. OWNER shall have seven days after receipt of the tentative certificate during which to make written objection to ENGINEER as to any provisions of the certificate or attached list. If, after considering such objections, ENGINEER concludes that the Work is not substantially complete, ENGINEER will within 14 days after submission of the tentative certificate to OWNER notify CONTRACTOR in writing, stating the reasons therefor. If, after consideration of OWNER’s objections, ENGINEER considers the Work substantially complete, ENGINEER will within said 14 days execute and deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a definitive certificate of Substantial Completion (with a revised tentative list of items to be completed or corrected) reflecting such changes from the tentative certificate as ENGINEER believes justified after consideration of any objections from OWNER. At the time of delivery of the tentative certificate of Substantial Completion ENGINEER will deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a written recommendation as to division of responsibilities pending final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with respect to security, operation, safety, and protection of the Work, maintenance, heat, utilities, insurance, and warranties and guarantees. Unless OWNER and CONTRACTOR agree otherwise in writing and so inform ENGINEER in writing prior to ENGINEER’s issuing the definitive certificate of Substantial Completion, ENGINEER’s aforesaid recommendation will be binding on OWNER and CONTRACTOR until final payment. B. OWNER shall have the right to exclude CONTRACTOR from the Site after the date of Substanti...
Substantial Completion. The Date of Substantial Completion of the Work is the date the OWNER determines construction is sufficiently complete, in accordance with the Contract Documents and as defined in the Technical Specifications, so the OWNER may occupy or use the Work, or designated portion thereof, for its intended purpose, without restriction and all punch list items completed as defined in the Technical Specifications (subject to completion of minor punch list items, the absence of completion of which does not interfere with OWNER’s intended use of the project, including the intended normal business operations of the project, or detract from the aesthetic appearance of the project) and: (a) all designated or required governmental certificates of occupancy and other permits, inspections and certifications for the project or such portion thereof as the case may be, have been achieved and issued to OWNER and posted for the project or such portion thereof; (b) all elements and project systems included in the Work (including, without limitation, all life safety systems) are operational and functioning as designed and scheduled in the Contract Documents; (c) all instruction of OWNER’s personnel in the operation of the project systems has been completed; and (d) no liens, claims or encumbrances have been filed or are outstanding with respect to the Work.

When the Contractor considers that the Work, or a designated portion thereof which is acceptable to the OWNER is substantially complete as defined above, the Contractor shall prepare for submission to the OWNER a list of items to be completed or corrected. The failure to include any items on such list does not alter the responsibility of the Contractor to complete the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. When the OWNER determines that the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete, it will issue a written notice to the Contractor establishing the date of Substantial Completion. The notice shall state the responsibilities of the OWNER and the Contractor for (but not limited to) security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work, and insurance, and shall list remaining items to be corrected or completed.
