Substantial performance is a middle ground between full performance and a breach due to nonperformance. A construction contractor who gets a home built but has not finished all the landscaping and finishing details by the due date is not denied a financial recovery. This builder can recover under the contract but remains liable for any damages to the homeowner for delays.
