Top 5 reasons builders don't get paid

The most common reason that builders don't get paid is due to payment disputes or disagreements between the builder and the client/developer. These disputes happen for a variety of reasons, including:

  1. Delays or issues with the project: If the project is delayed or there are issues with the construction work, the client may withhold payment until the issues are resolved.

  2. Disagreements over the scope of work: The builder and client may disagree on the scope of work or the quality of the work done, leading to payment disputes.

  3. Payment terms and conditions: Disagreements over payment terms and conditions, such as the amount and timing of payments, can also lead to payment disputes.

  4. Financial issues: The client may have financial issues and may not be able to pay the builder, leading to payment delays or non-payment.

  5. Legal issues: Legal disputes, such as contract disputes can lead to non-payment of the builder.

To prevent payment disputes, it's important for builders to have clear payment terms and conditions in their contracts, to keep detailed records of all work done and expenses incurred, and to communicate effectively with their clients throughout the project. It's also important to have a plan in place for resolving any disputes that may arise.
