A Notice of Commencement is a document that establishes the formal start date of a construction project. It identifies stakeholders such as the property owner, lender, and GC. NOCs are filed in the county the project if located in, and usually posted at the job site and distributed to all participants.
The consumer's written notice of cancellation must be sent to the contractor at the address specified in the contract or offer. If the notice is given by mail, it is effective when it is deposited in the mail, properly addressed, with postage prepaid.
The most common basis for termination of a construction contract is material breach, where one party fails to meet their obligations. Two other typical bases include mutual agreement and force majeure. Understanding these bases helps to navigate potential disputes in construction projects.
This Agreement shall be terminated: Upon the expiration of number, e.g., thirty (30) days after either party hereto shall give written notice to the other party of its intention to terminate.
Damages typically include the amount of material and services the contractor provided until the date of termination as well as any adjustment to cover additional overhead or costs incurred by the contractor due to the termination.
