Carl, a contractor, has a contract with Ron, a realtor, to construct a new condominium complex. The contract provides that Carl must furnish a certificate of occupancy and conformity with the local fire code before Ron has an obligation to pay. The furnishing of the certificate is an implied-in-fact condition subsequent to the construction of the building.
