A North Carolina Draw Request by a Contractor refers to a formal document submitted by a contractor to a project owner in the state of North Carolina to request payment for work completed on a construction project. This draw request serves as a written request for a specific amount of funds that the contractor believes they are entitled to based on the progress made on the project. The purpose of a draw request is to provide transparency and facilitate the smooth flow of payments between the contractor and project owner, ensuring that the contractor is compensated for the work completed and materials purchased during each phase of the project. There are typically different types of draw requests that a contractor may submit throughout the lifecycle of a construction project in North Carolina. These may include: 1. Construction Progress Draw Request: This type of draw request is submitted during various phases of the construction project, typically at predetermined milestones or stages. The contractor will provide detailed documentation, including invoices, receipts, and proofs of payment, to support their claim for payment based on the percentage of completion achieved. 2. Material Draw Request: In some cases, a contractor may incur substantial upfront costs for purchasing materials required for the project. To receive reimbursement for these costs, the contractor can submit a material draw request, along with valid invoices and evidence of the materials delivered to the construction site. 3. Retain age Release Draw Request: In North Carolina, it is common practice for project owners to retain a certain percentage of the contract amount as retain age until the completion of the project. Contractors can submit a retail age release draw request once the contract obligations have been fulfilled, and the project owner agrees to release a portion (or all) of to retain age funds. 4. Change Order Draw Request: Change orders often arise during the course of construction projects due to unforeseen circumstances or client-requested modifications. Contractors may submit a change order draw request to request additional payment related to the approved change order. Supporting documentation, such as change order forms, should accompany this type of draw request. Contractors must ensure that their draw request includes accurate and precise information regarding the project progress, work completed, and costs incurred. It is essential to include relevant keywords in the draw request, such as "construction progress," "materials purchased," "invoice," "proofs of payment," "retention," "change order," "contract obligations," among others, to ensure clarity and avoid any misinterpretation by the project owner or stakeholders involved.
