Construction Contract Payment Provisions

Construction industry disputes in the UK are often due to delayed payments, prompting legislation in the 1990s to ensure prompt payment under construction contracts.
All standard forms of contract in the UK now include payment terms complying with legislation, providing for substantial interest charges for late payment.
The 1999 FIDIC forms address prompt payment concerns by requiring evidence of the Employer's ability to pay and imposing high finance charges for late payment.
The Red Book includes a diagrammatic explanation of the sequence of payment events prescribed in Sub clause 14.
The Contract Price in the Red Book is subject to measurement, and the billed quantities are not taken as actual or correct.
The Contractor provides a breakdown of any lump sum price for determining interim payments, subject to an approved guarantee from the Contractor in the amount of the payment.
The Contractor submits a monthly Statement showing his considered entitlement, taking into account retention, advance payments, work done, previous payments, acquired plant and materials.
The Engineer issues an Interim Payment Certificate within 56 days of the submission of the Contractor's statement, and delayed payments entitle the Contractor to compound interest at prescribed rates.
The Contractor submits a statement of completion within 84 days of receipt of the Taking Over Certificate, and within 56 days of receipt of the Performance Certificate, a draft final statement is submitted for agreement.
The Employer has no liability to the Contractor unless provided for in the Final Statement and the Statement of Completion, and any further claims not provided for in that statement would be time-barred.
The Yellow Book and Silver Book have minor differences in payment provisions compared to the Red Book, including variations in the Contract Price, application for Interim Payment Certificates, and release of retention money.
The Silver Book does not reference schedules, and any requirement to pay on a measurement basis would require particular provision.
