What defines the start date and what defines the finish date of a contract, with the bracketed time being the project duration?

What will be an ideal response?


The start date is generally specifically noted in the Notice to Proceed. The start
date may be specifically given or it may be stated in terms of the date of the Notice to
Proceed, e. g., ten days from the date of receipt of the notice to proceed. In some
contracts, the start date is the day the notice to proceed is received by the contractor.

The finish date of a contract (defining when no liquidated damages will be assessed
against the contractor) generally occurs at the point of substantial completion. Substantial
completion is the point in a project at which the owner is able to occupy the facility being
constructed and use it for its intended purpose. Only minor items of work may remain at
the time of substantial completion. These deficiencies are commonly itemized in the
punch list.
