CONTRACTOR’S PRE-CONSTRUCTION OBLIGATIONS. Prior to beginning construction and again before starting a section of work, XXXX and each subcontractor shall carefully examine all preparatory work that has been executed to receive the work. XXXX shall check carefully, by whatever means are required, to ensure that the work and adjacent, related work, will finish to proper contours, planes, and levels. XXXX shall promptly notify the Owner of any defects or imperfections in preparatory work which will in any way, affect satisfactory completion of his work. Absence of such notification will be construed as an acceptance of preparatory work, and later claims of defects or delays therein will not be recognized. Under no condition shall a section of work proceed prior to preparatory work having been completed, cured, dried, and otherwise made satisfactory to receive such related work. Responsibility for timely installation of all materials rests solely with the XXXX, who shall maintain coordination control at all times. XXXX’x or each Subcontractor’s commencement of the work of its trade will be interpreted as XXXX’x acceptance of existing conditions over which the new work must be placed, installed, or otherwise performed.
