Common use of Owner’s Right to Review the Work Clause in Contracts

Owner’s Right to Review the Work. (a) Owner and persons designated by Owner shall at all times have access to the Work whenever it is in preparation or progress and EPC Contractor shall provide proper facilities for such access and for a detailed review of the Work by Owner. If Owner discovers any Defective Work in connection with any review, it shall report such Defective Work to EPC Contractor and EPC Contractor shall, at no cost to Owner, immediately correct the defective work. (b) If the Contract Documents, the written instructions of Owner, laws, ordinances, rules or regulations, or any public authority require any of the Work to be specifically tested or inspected, EPC Contractor shall give Owner timely notice of its readiness for inspection and testing, and if the test or inspection is performed by an authority other than Owner, of the date set for such test or inspection. Inspections by Owner shall be promptly made and, where practicable, at the source of supply. If any of the Work should be covered up without the approval or consent of Owner or any necessary authority, it shall be uncovered for examination, if required by Owner or such other authority, at the sole expense of EPC Contractor. (c) Re-examination of questioned work that has been previously inspected by Owner may be ordered by Owner and, if so ordered, the questioned work shall be uncovered by EPC Contractor. If such work is found to be in compliance with the Contract Documents, Owner shall pay the actual documented and verified cost of the re-examination and if such re-examination causes the Completion Date to be extended, grant a time extension and shall pay all costs incurred as a result of such extension via the contract change procedure accordingly. If such work is found not to be in compliance with the Contract Documents, EPC Contractor shall bear the costs of the re-examination, and the costs to correct.
