Notice to Proceed

Notice to Proceed (NTP) definition. Learn the legal importance of the document that signals the official start date of a construction project.

Calculation Formula

Official Start Date = Date of NTP Issuance

Real Contractor Example

After signing the contract, the owner issues an NTP on June 1st. This officially starts the clock on the 90-day project duration.
