Existing Conditions/As-Built Sample Clauses

The Existing Conditions/As-Built clause defines the responsibilities and procedures related to the documentation and verification of the current state of a project site or structure before new work begins. Typically, this clause requires the contractor or project team to review, confirm, or provide records such as surveys, drawings, or reports that accurately reflect the actual conditions present. For example, it may specify that the contractor must notify the owner of any discrepancies between the provided documents and the observed site conditions. The core function of this clause is to ensure all parties have a clear and accurate understanding of the starting point for the project, thereby minimizing disputes and unforeseen issues during construction.
