Completion Estimate Clause Samples
The Completion Estimate clause defines the anticipated date or timeframe by which a project or specific contractual obligations are expected to be finished. In practice, this clause sets out a projected schedule for completion, often based on current progress, resource availability, or other relevant factors, and may be updated as the project advances. Its core function is to provide both parties with a clear expectation regarding timelines, helping to manage planning, coordination, and accountability throughout the duration of the agreement.
Completion Estimate. If, as a result of fire or other casualty (each, a “Casualty”), all or any portion of the Premises becomes untenantable or inaccessible, Landlord, with reasonable promptness, shall cause a general contractor selected by Landlord to provide Landlord with a written estimate of the amount of time required, using standard working methods, to substantially complete the repair and restoration of the Premises and any Common Areas necessary to provide access to the Premises (“Completion Estimate”). Landlord shall promptly forward a copy of the Completion Estimate to Tenant. If the Completion Estimate indicates that the Premises or any Common Areas necessary to provide access to the Premises cannot be made tenantable within two hundred seventy (270) days from the date the repair is started (when such repair is made without the payment of overtime or other premiums), then either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice delivered to the other within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Completion Estimate. In addition, Landlord, by notice delivered to Tenant within ninety (90) days after the date of the Casualty, shall have the right to terminate this Lease if the Building or Property shall be damaged by Casualty, whether or not the Premises are affected, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (i) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, repairs cannot reasonably be completed within two hundred seventy (270) days from the date the repairs are started (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); (ii) any Holder (defined below) requires that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be applied to the payment of the mortgage debt; (iii) the damage is not fully covered by Landlord’s insurance policies; (iv) Landlord decides to rebuild the Building or Common Areas so that they will be substantially different structurally or architecturally; or (v) the damage occurs during the last twenty-four (24) months of the Term.
