Prompt Payment

We have a contract with someone as their GC. They are not holding retainage on us for this project. Am I able to still hold a retainage of 10% on the subcontractors that we have on the job?
OhioConstruction project in iowa county library. Have not been paid for completion
What do I do. The job was completed in March. Do I send a demand or a payment letter since it is a public job? No lien can be filed for public jobs
IowaI would for a small, family-owned stone installation company. I wanted to make up a customer agreement form that lays out the services, payment stipulations, etc. One of the things I wanted to add was a late fee that would be added to the net invoice. But, I don't know what percentage I can charge a customer if they're late with the final payment, the timeframe, etc.
MaineI am seeking solid terminology on when a retainage payment must be paid out. I have seen contradicting language and just looking for clarification. I have seen language stating "substantial completion of the project" and I have also seen language more specific to the specific work a subcontractor has completed. I am just looking to find which is correct and if we get paid once the overall job has substantial completion and or they receive the use and occupy permit or if once we complete our scope of work, we get paid.
TennesseeIf I am self financing a vacation home is it common to have the construction funds deposited with a trustee and distributed by the trustee as invoices and work is approved by the homeowner?
KentuckyHired directly . second half of payment is late. what can I do?
CaliforniaIs it legal in San Antonio(Tx), for a Builder LLC to request a customer for payments for the construction of a Residential unit in this manner?
E.g.:
The project due date is 5 months from signing of contract.
Downpayment 50% in advance
Month 1 10%
Month 2 10%
Month 3 10%
Month 4 10%
Month 5 10%
Assuming project construction advances accordingly and on schedule.
Thanks in advance!!
TexasOne of our vendors wrote to the Prime on a gov't construction project that our invoice was behind. They have not filed a lien - just an email. A partial payment has been made, which they have acknowledged to the Prime. The Prime is holding Pay Apps from Dec & Jan because of this and now wants a waiver from the vendor in order to release the check. I am new to this, so I'm not sure if this is all legit. Thanks!
FloridaI have a pay app that was due in June 20 for May work. The GC has been paid for May's work, but said he will not pay us until the end of July. The Texas Prompt Pay Act states that a GC has 10days to pay subs after he has received payment. What can I do to get payment since he is not following this? Also, on sending monthly notices, do I send a notice for May's work that has not been paid in July? I know that we have 3month time line, but can I send it before then?
TexasI need help in determining what kind of project I have. It is a multifamily project in Indiana. It is owned by a private company, not by any government agency. I believe it is a private project which if we wanted to file a lien we would have to send a notice after the 1st delivery of the project. Public project does not require a notice. This project is owned by a private company, not by any government agency. Am I correct in saying this is a private project requiring the notice after the 1st delivery?
TexasWE ARE A SPECIALTY CONTRACTOR, AND DID WORK FOR TRU SEAL ASPHALT LLC IN MAY OF 2017.
THEY FOUND "FAULT" WITH OUR WORK - TOO MUCH AC IN ONE AREA OF THE PARKING LOT THAT HAD PAVEMENT OVERLAY FABRIC APPLIED, AND THE AC BLED THOUGH THE PAVEMENT.
THEY SAID THEY WOULD DEDUCT FOR THE REPAIR, BUT NEVER PAID US.
TO OUR KNOWLEDGE, THE REPAIR NEVER TOOK PLACE. WE DID NOT LIEN THE PROJECT, HEATH NURSING CARE CENTER.
THEY CONSISTENTLY IGNORE THE MONTHLY STATEMENTS WE SEND THEM.
WHAT CAN WE DO TO GET PAID?
Ohioa general contractor on a private project owes our company $60,000 from may 2022. They are in a lawsuit with the owner. We filed a lein, what else can we do to get payment?
NevadaI am the owner of a SMB mechanical contracting company here in Colorado. We are working for a Denver contractor and struggling to get paid. We now have $1.5M still outstanding for January, and another $1.3M just at 30 days. I need to understand if a prompt payment demand letter from my lawyer is the correct next step? Is the job covered by the act?
ColoradoI am a sub contractor working on a new hanger at a municipal airport in mesquite Texas. The contractor has paid me once since I started work for Oct 2022. I am contracted for earthwork, utilities and concrete. I have not been paid for Nov ($35,000) and December ($123,000). GC states they have not been paid. GC is now threatening I will be in breach of contract if I send notice of demand for payment and intent to stop work. Is this true? At this time I have billed out $340,000 and recovered 1 payment for $63,000 for October 22. Laura Perry Lauraperry123@gmail.com
TexasIf a subcontractor asks the prime contractor for proof that the owner has the funds available for the project, the owner must provide that information?
