The Payment Schedule

The Payment Schedule

The Payment Schedule is a practical five-page worksheet designed to help self-builders, homeowners and renovators record and monitor payments made during a building project.

It provides a clear framework for linking payments to defined stages of construction, from the initial deposit and commencement of work through to Practical Completion and the final payment.

What Does the Payment Schedule Cover?

The document includes:

• Project, client, site and contractor details.
• Start and estimated completion dates.
• The agreed contract sum.
• A nine-stage payment schedule.
• Due dates, payment amounts and payment dates.
• A record of agreed variation payments.
• An invoice and payment record.
• A payment certification checklist.
• Space to record who inspected and approved the payment.
• Notes covering written variations, retention and outstanding remedial work.

The suggested stages cover foundations, the ground-floor structure, external walls, the roof, first fix, plastering, second fix, Practical Completion and the final payment.

What Will You Receive?

You will receive:

• One five-page Payment Schedule.
• Supplied as a downloadable A4 PDF.
• Clearly arranged tables and checklists.
• Space for recording project-specific payment information.
• A document that can be printed and completed as the project progresses.

No printed copy will be supplied.

Important Information

The Payment Schedule is intended to be used alongside an appropriate building contract. It is a general project-management worksheet and does not replace the terms of the contract or the services of a Contract Administrator or other suitably qualified professional.

The suggested payment stages may need to be adjusted to reflect the particular contract, construction method and sequence of work. The document does not provide legal, financial, contractual or technical advice.
