The Construction of the Premises form is a legal document used in commercial leasing to outline the landlord's responsibilities regarding the construction and delivery of the leased space. This form specifies the costs related to construction work, the timeline for completion, and the plans submitted by the tenant, which distinguishes it from other general lease agreements.
