The JCT Design and Build Contract specifies a period of 14 days from the Due Date to the Final Date for Payment. Alongside specifying the general period applicable to Interim Payment, the Contract also specifies the timescales applicable for the issuing of Payment Notices and Pay Less Notices. It is important that parties are aware of these periods, as failure to issue the relevant Notice in time could result in the Employer being obliged to pay the sum stated in the Contractor’s Interim Application.

The diagram below shows more detail of the steps and periods applicable to Interim Payments under the JCT Design and Build 2016 Contract and identifies the dates that the relevant Notices need to be issued:
