Using this Information
Build UK has published this data to provide transparency on the payment performance of the largest companies in the construction sector. This will help the supply chain to make more informed decisions and drive good practice.
Where a business is a group company with one or more subsidiaries which are also required to report individually, we have included data from the construction or building subsidiary that undertakes the majority of the group’s construction work. However, a business’s report includes all payments, not only those related to construction work, which may affect its figures.
The
Guidance to Reporting on Payment Practices and Performance
specifies that the average time taken to pay should be measured from the date of receipt of invoice to the date the supplier receives payment. For construction contracts in scope of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996, businesses must use the earliest point at which they have notice of an amount for payment, which would generally be the date they receive an application for payment.
Businesses are required to report on the
value of invoices paid
for each financial year beginning on or after 1 January 2025, and N/A has been used where businesses have not yet reported this data for the first time.
Further information about a business’s payment performance can be found in its full report on
GOV.UK
which is accessible by clicking on the business’s name in the table above. Information on all businesses that are required to report can be found on
GOV.UK
Failure to comply with the Reporting on Payment Practices and Performance Regulations may be a criminal offence. Detailed guidance on the reporting requirement can be found in the
Guidance to Reporting on Payment Practices and Performance
If you have any queries regarding the information contained within any report, you should either contact the business directly or email the
Department for Business and Trade (DBT)
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Build UK hereby expressly disclaims (on behalf of itself and of its directors, officers, employees, agents and contractors) any and all liability under any system of law for any loss or damage of any description incurred by any person (natural or corporate) at any time as a direct or indirect result of (a) any information (whether erroneous, inaccurate or otherwise) contained in or omitted from the table and/or this webpage, and/or (b) any action taken or omitted to be taken in reliance in whole or in part on any said information.
