The Completion Date shall be the date when the Work is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents so that Owner can occupy or utilize the Property for its intended use (Substantial Completion). If Owner will pay Contractor for all or part of the Work with funds advanced by a lender, Substantial Completion shall be the date as defined by the loan documents. Before starting the Work, Contractor shall submit to Owner for review an estimated progress schedule indicating the starting and completion dates of various stages of the Work. 3.

Within ______ calendar days after a Request for Advance is presented, Owner, shall notify Contractor if Owner has any concerns about the Request for Advance that Owner believes should be resolved before Owner pays the amounts specified in the Request for Advance, and, in this event, Owner and Contractor shall promptly meet to address such concerns. Owner shall pay Contractor _____ percent of the full amount covered by the Request for Advance within _____calendar days from the day it was presented while retaining _____ percent thereof (Holdback) to be paid simultaneously with the final payment.

Alternatively, Owner shall deliver to Contractor a written statement that Final Completion has been reached because no punch list items remain to be completed. 2. If Owner delivers a written punch list to Contractor, then Contractor shall deliver to Owner a written notice that the Work is finally complete when Contractor believes that the punch list items have been completed.

Promptly after such inspection, Owner shall deliver to Contractor either (i) a written statement that Final Completion has been reached or (ii) another written punch list of the items that still must be completed in order for the Work to reach Final Completion in which event the punch list procedure described above shall be repeated until all punch list items have been completed. 3.
