Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we finalise the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

With respect to Contractors, it is observed that Engineers/Consultants deliberately undervalue the work in monthly interim payment certificates. Due to this under certification the Engineers/Consultants holds a lot of money with this intention that the Contractors are not overpaid

The said under-certification causes a set back to the Contractor’s cash flow which severely affects its progress of Works.

Contractors oftenly claim interest on the late certification and late receipt of payments.
Can a Contractor claim interest on such under certified amounts?
