Certificate of Completion – You can use this form to certify the satisfactory completion of all work on a construction project.

Time and Material Log - This form helps you keep track of time and materials used on a particular project and can be used to invoice the contractor for progress payments.

TIPS ON COMPLETING THE FORMS Many forms in this packet contain “form fields” created using Microsoft Word. Form fields protect the content of a document from being inadvertently changed while making it easier for you to add information to the form you need to such as the parties’ names and addresses. When the document is protected, you can use the tab key to jump from field to field as you enter information. Unprotect the document when you want to modify it. Even though a document may contain form fields, you can still print out the form without filling in the fields and complete the blank form by hand or with a typewriter. To protect a document, right click on the toolbar just over your document and click on “Forms.” Click on the padlock icon of the forms toolbar to lock your document. Click the padlock again if you want to unlock your document. You can also access the forms toolbar by clicking on “View” then “Toolbars” then “Forms.” You can also protect your document by clicking on “Tools” in the upper menu bar then “Protect Document” then check the box next to “Allow only this type of editing in the document” then, select from the drop down menu box “Filling in Forms” then select “Yes Start Enforcing Protection.” You will be presented with the option of entering a password but you can just click “Yes” without entering a password if you choose. To unprotect your document, click on “Tools” then “Unprotect Document.” You can cause the form fields to appear gray by clicking on the button on the forms toolbar that resembles a shaded letter “a.” Click on the “a” again to make fields invisible. These instructions are based on Microsoft Word 2003. The process will differ slightly if you are using Microsoft Word 2000. IV.
