How Payments Work on Large Projects (Example: $1.8M Job)

• Prime contractor is awarded the full contract (ex: $1.8M project)

• Work is divided into scopes (HVAC, electrical, interiors, etc.)

• Subcontractors typically receive $100K–$400K portions depending on scope

Payment Process

• Work is completed in phases (monthly progress billing)

• Contractors submit AIA pay applications (pay apps)

• Agency (DASNY / owner) pays the prime contractor first

• Prime then pays subcontractors within 7–30 days after receiving funds

➡️ Subcontractors are typically managing 30–60 day cash flow cycles, not upfront full payments.

Subcontractor Capital Needs

• Payroll & labor costs

• Materials (sometimes upfront purchase required)

• Equipment rentals & mobilization

• Insurance, bonding, and compliance costs

• Early project startup expenses

Common Financing Options

Construction Factoring (Most Common)

• Contractors sell approved invoices / pay apps

• Receive 80–90% of cash immediately

• Remaining balance paid after project funds clear

• Helps bridge cash flow gaps between billing and payment

Key Advantage

• Continuous access to new bidding opportunities year-round

• Ability to match contractors with active funded projects quickly

• Strong pipeline across NYC + statewide construction markets

• No seasonal limitation — active construction flow always moving
