DATE OF COMMENCEMENT AND SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION Sample Clauses
The 'Date of Commencement and Substantial Completion' clause defines when a construction project officially begins and establishes the criteria and timing for when the project is considered substantially complete. Typically, this clause specifies the exact start date, which may be set by a notice to proceed or a mutually agreed date, and outlines what constitutes substantial completion, such as when the project is fit for its intended use even if minor work remains. Its core function is to provide clear benchmarks for project scheduling, payment milestones, and the transition of responsibilities, thereby reducing disputes over project timelines and completion status.
