Substantial Completion is the date certified by the owner or design professional that the work is sufficiently complete in terms of the contract to allow use or occupancy of the facility or system. After substantial completion, the contractor is entitled to all but the retained portion of the contract amount.
Final Completion is the date the punch list items are certified as having been completed and agreed by both parties as to their completion. Final payment to the contractor is usually approved at this time.
Occupancy is the portion of the job in which the owner may begin use of the facility. Occupancy, as stated in the general conditions, does not constitute acceptance of the work that is not in accordance with the contract documents. Occupancy or use is generally initiated only upon substantial completion certification.
The contractor warrants all work performed by them for a period of one year following substantial completion certification.
