Reminder guidance for this contract type
Construction runs on dates that trigger other dates
A construction contract is a chain of dependent deadlines. Substantial completion is more than a milestone: it starts the defects-liability clock, the retainage-release countdown, and often warranty and lien windows. Each progress claim has a submission cut-off, and missing it pushes payment a full cycle. The danger is that these dates are buried across the agreement, the payment schedule, and statute, so no single calendar holds them all. A reminder system that links the trigger date to the downstream clocks it starts is what keeps a project's money and rights on track.
Retainage and lien rights are won or lost on timing
Two construction deadlines carry outsized financial weight. Retainage, funds withheld until the work proves out, is released on conditions tied to completion and defects sign-off; release it too early and you lose leverage, too late and you strain the contractor. Lien rights, meanwhile, are governed by strict statutory windows; miss the filing date and an unpaid claim can become uncollectible. Both hinge entirely on tracking a date relative to a trigger event. Surfacing those triggers as owned reminders, with enough lead time to act, is the difference between protected cash and forfeited rights.
