Changes to Construction Drawings Sample Clauses
The "Changes to Construction Drawings" clause defines the process and conditions under which modifications to the original construction drawings can be made during a project. Typically, this clause outlines who has the authority to request changes, the procedure for submitting and approving revisions, and how such changes may impact the project’s timeline or costs. For example, if an owner or architect needs to alter a design detail after work has begun, this clause ensures there is a formal mechanism to review, approve, and document the change. Its core function is to provide a clear, structured approach for managing drawing modifications, thereby minimizing disputes and ensuring all parties are aware of and agree to any adjustments.
Changes to Construction Drawings. Tenant shall have the right to request changes in or to the Construction Drawings so long as such request is in writing and is provided to both the Construction Manager and Landlord (and not to Landlord’s Architect or Contractor). After approval by the Construction Manager and Landlord, any such change shall be made by Landlord’s Architect. No change shall be permitted without the prior written consent of Landlord which as to nonstructural changes which do not affect building systems, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Further, if changes are made by Tenant to the Construction Drawings after Landlord’s and Tenant’s approval thereof, and should these changes to the Construction Drawings cause the Final Pricing to be increased or cause Landlord to postpone substantial completion of the space or delay the Commencement Date, then Landlord shall have the right to refuse to permit the making of such changes unless and until Tenant shall have committed in writing, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, to pay to Landlord (i) the extra cost in excess of the Final Pricing and (ii) on the date Rent would have commenced hereunder in the absence of such delay, a sum of money equivalent to the Rent for the Premises for the period during which Tenant would have been obligated to pay Rent to Landlord had not the Lease Commencement Date been so delayed with such delay being considered a “Tenant Delay” hereunder. Tenant shall pay to Landlord within ten (10) business days of such final approval, one hundred percent (100%) of such additional costs. Furthermore, if Tenant’s changes to the Construction Drawings will cause Landlord to postpone substantial completion of the Leasehold Improvements and Landlord is able to determine such fact at the time such change is requested by Tenant, then Landlord agrees to notify Tenant of such delay at the time Tenant requests such change and Tenant will be entitled within three (3) days of such notice to withdraw its request. Any costs incurred by Landlord in making a change which is later withdrawn by Tenant shall be promptly reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord.
Changes to Construction Drawings. Tenant shall make no changes or modifications to the approved Construction Drawings without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld in Landlord's sole discretion if such change or modification would: (i) directly or indirectly delay the "Substantial Completion", as that term is in defined Section 6 below, of the Tenant Improvements; (ii) increase the cost of designing or constructing the Tenant Improvements above the cost of the Tenant Improvements depicted in the Plans unless Tenant agrees to be solely responsible such costs as an increase to the "Over-Allowance Amount" (as hereinafter defined); (iii) be likely to adversely affect Building systems, the structure of the Building or the safety of the Building and/or its occupants; (iv) be likely to impair Landlord's ability to furnish services to Tenant or other tenants in the Building; (v) increase the cost of operating the Building; (vi) violate any governmental laws, rules or ordinances, (vii) be of a quality lower than the quality of the standard improvement package items for the Building; and/or (iv) require any changes to the Base, Shell and Core Work.
