The Pain Preventor: JCT Contracts Payment Requirements

The JCT contract is frequently used by architects across Northern Ireland and further afield and often the crucial areas are around payments.  Missing a date, for example, could prove expensive.  Now more so than ever, perhaps, as we settle into living with COVID-19, it is critical to ensure payments are buttery smooth and hassle-free to keep projects moving forward.  To help you understand the requirements, opportunities and pitfalls of payments under JCT contracts, RSUA has organised this 90-minute seminar to equip you with the insights and skills to keep your projects on track.

Course content

This 90-minute seminar includes a question and answer session and will consider the following topics:

• Interim payments – dates and certificates
• Contractor’s applications and payment notices
• Payments – amounts and notices
• Failure to pay amount due
• Rights of suspension for contractors
• Certification and final payment
• Lessons learned during COVID-19
