The problem is often timing. Builders may need to pay subcontractors, suppliers, wages and other project costs before the corresponding money from a progress claim reaches the bank.<\/p><p>Retentions can delay access to another portion of project revenue, while variations and disputed claims can make expected receipts less certain. When several projects are running at once, those timing differences can quickly make the business&#8217;s actual cash position harder to see.<\/p><p>Good accounting cannot make a client pay sooner or remove contractual retentions. What it can do is show when cash is expected, where the money needs to be spent, and which projects may put pressure on cash flow before the bank balance becomes a warning sign.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-affc24b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"affc24b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Progress Payments Create Timing Gaps\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dde3469 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dde3469\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Construction contracts commonly allow payments to be claimed as work progresses rather than paying the entire contract value upfront. The exact payment-claim process and statutory timeframes depend on the applicable state or territory Security of Payment framework and the relevant contract. For the builder, the accounting challenge begins because project costs do not necessarily follow the same timetable.<\/p><p>Materials may need to be ordered before work starts. Subcontractors may submit invoices before a progress payment has been received. Payroll, equipment hire, insurance, and other overheads continue regardless of whether a particular claim has been paid.<\/p><p>A builder therefore needs to know more than the total amount invoiced. Useful reporting should distinguish between:<\/p><ul><li>Work completed but not yet claimed<\/li><li>Progress claims already submitted<\/li><li>Amounts approved but not yet received<\/li><li>Overdue receivables<\/li><li>Costs already committed to the project<\/li><li>Supplier and subcontractor payments falling due<\/li><\/ul><p>This is where structured\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/befreeltd.com\/au\/industries\/construction-and-real-estate\/\">construction accounting<\/a> becomes important. Tracking each project separately helps the business compare incoming payments with the costs and commitments associated with earning that revenue.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0cd7319 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0cd7319\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Retention Money Can Make Revenue Look More Available Than It Is\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40d420c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"40d420c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Retention arrangements can create another cash-flow gap. Under some construction contracts, part of a payment may be retained as security for the contractor or subcontractor meeting its contractual obligations. The amount, release conditions, and timing depend on the contract and applicable rules. There are also jurisdiction-specific requirements around retention money. For example, certain projects may be subject to statutory trust-account or other protection requirements.<\/p><p>From a cash-flow perspective, the important distinction is between money connected with completed work and cash that is actually available to the business. If retention amounts are not tracked separately, management reports can give an incomplete picture of when project cash will become accessible. A useful retention schedule can record:<\/p><ul><li>Project and contract<\/li><li>Retention deducted<\/li><li>Cumulative retention balance<\/li><li>Expected release conditions<\/li><li>Relevant release dates or milestones<\/li><li>Amounts subsequently released<\/li><li>Retentions that require follow-up<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3a95adc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3a95adc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This allows the builder to include expected retention receipts in longer-term forecasting without treating them as cash available for today&#8217;s bills.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cdb3f69 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cdb3f69\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Paying Subcontractors Before Customers Pay You\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ae5ea24 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ae5ea24\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>One of the most common construction cash-flow pressures occurs when subcontractor payments become due before the builder receives the corresponding customer payment. A large project can therefore generate substantial revenue on paper while placing pressure on working capital.<\/p><p>The solution is not simply to delay subcontractors. Payment obligations need to be managed according to the relevant contracts and legal requirements. Instead, the accounting system should identify upcoming commitments early enough for the business to plan around them. A short-term cash-flow forecast can show expected receipts alongside:<\/p><ul><li>Subcontractor invoices<\/li><li>Supplier accounts<\/li><li>Payroll<\/li><li>Superannuation and PAYG obligations<\/li><li>Equipment hire<\/li><li>Insurance<\/li><li>Tax liabilities<\/li><li>Loan or finance payments<\/li><li>Other operating expenses<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c668f0b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c668f0b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The forecast should also be updated when expected payment dates change. A forecast built at the start of a project but never revisited can quickly become irrelevant when claims, variations or construction schedules move.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56362a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"56362a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">A Profitable Job Can Still Cause a Cash Shortage\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5ed3cb3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5ed3cb3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Profit and cash flow answer different questions. A project may be expected to generate a profit overall, but that does not mean the cash required to complete it will be available at every stage. If the builder has paid for materials and subcontractors while customer payments remain outstanding, the project can temporarily consume working capital.<\/p><p>This becomes more difficult when several projects overlap. Job costing can help by assigning costs and revenue to individual projects rather than viewing the business only through one overall profit and loss statement. Work-in-progress reporting can also help management understand how project activity relates to financial performance, although the appropriate accounting treatment depends on the business and the relevant accounting requirements.<\/p><p>Builders and property businesses that want a broader explanation of project and property financial management can also see\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/befreeltd.com\/au\/resources\/blogs\/accounting-for-property\/\">accounting for property made simple<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-33a701d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"33a701d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Poor Receivables Tracking Turns Small Delays Into Bigger Gaps\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8a92da0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8a92da0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Submitting a progress claim is only one part of managing receivables. The business also needs visibility over what has been paid, what remains outstanding, and which claims require action. An accounts receivable report should help distinguish between a recent claim moving through the normal payment process and a balance that is becoming overdue. Builders can strengthen this process by:<\/p><ul><li>Recording claims promptly<\/li><li>Keeping supporting project documentation organised<\/li><li>Reconciling receipts against the correct claims<\/li><li>Reviewing outstanding balances regularly<\/li><li>Following up overdue amounts<\/li><li>Updating cash forecasts when expected receipts move<\/li><li>Separating disputed amounts from undisputed receivables<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b184752 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b184752\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Payment-claim rights, due dates, and dispute procedures can differ across Australian jurisdictions and contracts.

Start with expected receipts from current projects and compare them against known and reasonably anticipated payments over the same period. Then update the forecast as progress claims, project schedules, and payment dates change. Scenario planning can also help. A builder might model what happens if:<\/p><ul><li>A major progress payment arrives later than expected<\/li><li>A variation remains unresolved for another month<\/li><li>Material costs exceed the original project budget<\/li><li>Several subcontractor invoices fall due in the same week<\/li><li>A retention amount is released later than anticipated<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a899e42 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a899e42\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The purpose is not to predict every movement perfectly.
