Notice of Intent to Repair

A notice of intent to repair is a formal written communication from a contractor to a property owner, informing the owner of the contractor’s plan and schedule to correct or repair defects or non-conformances in the construction work. The notice typically includes a description of the specific defects or issues to be addressed, the proposed scope and methods of repair, the estimated timeline and duration of the work, any necessary access or coordination requirements, and any impacts on the owner’s use or occupancy of the property. The purpose of the notice of intent to repair is to demonstrate the contractor’s good faith and diligence in fulfilling their contractual and legal obligations to deliver quality work and to correct any deficiencies, to provide the owner with advance notice and information about the repair process, and to avoid or mitigate any further damages or disputes. Notices of intent to repair should be submitted promptly and in accordance with the contract provisions and applicable laws, and should be followed by timely and effective performance of the repair work. They can be an important step in the defect resolution process and can help to maintain the trust and cooperation between the parties.
