Construction Materials Payment Profile

Understanding the payment dynamics of Construction Materials when paying Bangladesh suppliers

Payment Timing

Project milestone payments. Net 30-45 for materials suppliers. Payment on delivery for bulk materials (concrete, aggregates).

Settlement Priority: HIGH: Site delays costly. Workers idle waiting for materials = daily burn rate. Fast payment ensures priority delivery scheduling.

📄 Invoice Terms

Net 30-45 (established suppliers), COD for bulk deliveries. Project retentions (5%) held 6-12 months. Credit lines for large contractors.

Cash Flow Pattern:

Project-based and weather-dependent. Construction season (Mar-Oct in UK). Large projects: payments spread over months. Retentions delay final settlement.

📊 FX Risk Profile

MODERATE: EUR (European materials), CNY (fixtures/tiles), TRY (marble). Project budgets set in GBP, FX swings affect margins. Hedge at tender stage.
