Release of retention on construction projects is often delayed or disputed, leaving you out of pocket long after completion.
How We Help
Arbicon helps resolve retention disputes quickly and effectively through:
- Managing Final Accounts for the timely release of retention.
- Challenging improper set offs of withholding practices.
- Pursuing adjudication and legal action if retention isn’t paid.
Common Retention Problems:
- Delayed release: Retention is often withheld even after project completion.
- Obstructive practices: Contractors may delay payments to boost their own profits.
- Insolvency: If the payer goes bankrupt, retention money may be lost unless it’s ringfenced.
- Disputes over defects: Arguments about whether work is a defect or additional work can delay payments.
