You know this tension well. 83% of subcontractors worry about cash flow. They report waiting an average of 51 days to get paid by a GC. On mega projects, owner audits, tiered contracts, and documentation requirements stretch that cycle even further.
Here are the actionable strategies from this session. And the resources you can implement right away.
Turner thinks about payment risk in two phases. Knowing both helps you plan your capital strategy on Turner jobs.
Most trade partners treat slow pay as the cost of doing business. That is survivable, but it is not always scalable. The trade partners protecting margin game-plan before mobilization.
Every trade partner runs a capital stack, whether they name it or not. The question is whether you are deploying your most cost-effective, flexible options in the right order for each project.
Turner has run an early pay program for more than a decade. The program addresses the wait between approved work and cash in your account. Enrollment is voluntary. You pay only when you accelerate.
