Synopsis.
AIA Document G744™–2024 is a standard form for recording the date of substantial completion of the work or a designated portion thereof on design-build projects. The design-builder prepares a list of items to be completed or corrected following substantial completion, and the owner verifies and amends this list. If the owner finds that the work is substantially complete, the form is prepared for acceptance by the design-build and the owner, and the list of items to be completed or corrected is attached. In G744, the parties agree on the time allowed for completion or correction of outstanding items; the date when the owner will occupy the work or designated portion thereof; and a description of responsibilities for maintenance, heat, utilities, and insurance. For use and execution of a document, see its instructions »
Purpose.
This document was developed for the Owner to acknowledge the date of Substantial Completion of the design-build project, or the date when the Owner can occupy or utilize all or a portion of the Work for its intended use. The date of Substantial Completion establishes the commencement of applicable warranties required by the Design-Build Contract. AIA Document G744™–2024 also provides an estimated amount for a list of items to be completed or corrected, and the date and time when the Owner accepts the Work and will assume possession.
