Interim Payment Timelines under JCT

Continuing our Back to Basics Series on payment timelines under different forms of Contract, today’s diagrams are for the Interim Payment under the JCT Design & Build (DB) Contract.

The diagram below represents, in a simplified way, the Interim Payment Timeline under the JCT Design & Build 2016 Contract:
