- Enter daily carrying cost.
- Enter one-time expediting fees.
- Read total CO delay cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
Typical CO delays?
Fire inspection issues (most common): 2-10 days. ADA compliance: 5-30 days. Building code red-tag: 10-60 days. Environmental compliance: 30-180 days. Each jurisdiction has different responsiveness and bureaucratic friction.
Mitigation?
Pre-inspection by professional before official inspection. Expediting services (fee $3-15k). Code consultant engagement early. Building department relationship management. Clear punch list pre-final. Documented change orders.
Consequences?
Tenant can't move in = lost rent. Lender won't close permanent loan (requires CO). Insurance switch delayed. Property tax reassessment delayed. Each day of delay costs 0.5-2% of monthly revenue + carrying cost.
Who owns this risk — sponsor or lender?
Construction risks are typically shared: hard-cost overrun owned by sponsor (via completion guaranty), soft-cost and delay risks shared per contract, force-majeure excused but bears owner carry cost. Document risk ownership in the loan agreement and GC contract before closing. Disputes get expensive when roles are unclear. Institutional deals spell out every allocation in writing.
