D-625 Certificate of Substantial Completion—Design-Build

EJCDC® D-625, Certificate of Substantial Completion—Design-Build, is a vital document for design-build projects, providing a formal record of the date when construction or a designated portion is deemed ready for its intended use. ​ It outlines the responsibilities of the Owner and Design-Builder post-completion, including property insurance, utilities, site security, and maintenance, while also establishing a punch list for remaining tasks. ​ The document ensures compliance with contract provisions, marks the start of the correction period and warranties, and allows for amendments to responsibilities through mutual agreement. ​ Designed for flexibility and customization, D-625 is an essential tool for efficient project management and accountability in design-build contracts.
