Owner's formal written authorization directing the contractor to begin work on a specified date, setting the contract clock running for schedule and liquidated-damages purposes.
The Notice to Proceed is a ready-to-use construction & trades template you can send for signature in minutes. It is written for 1 signer (owner) and, by default, expires 30 days after it is sent if left unsigned. It covers notice to proceed, construction, project start. Like every Abundera Sign template it is a convenience draft structured for ESIGN Act and UETA compliance, not a substitute for legal advice. Each signed copy is sealed with PAdES-LTA digital signatures, dual RFC 3161 timestamps, and a tamper-evident evidence package in WORM storage.
