When Substantial Completion Clause Samples

The "When Substantial Completion" clause defines the point at which a construction project or a specific portion of it is considered sufficiently complete for its intended use, even if minor work remains. Typically, this determination is made by the architect or project manager, who assesses whether the project meets the contract requirements for occupancy or operation. This clause is crucial because it triggers important contractual events, such as the start of warranty periods, release of retainage, and transfer of certain responsibilities from contractor to owner, thereby providing clarity and structure to the project closeout process.
When Substantial Completion has been achieved, the Architect shall inform the Owner about the balance of the Contract Sum remaining to be paid the Contractor, including the amount to be retained from the Contract Sum, if any, for final completion or correction of the Work.
