Construction Management - Partial Payment of Concrete or Shotcrete Work?
(OP)
Would you wait until you receive the compressive strength test results before paying the Contractor 100% of concrete or shotcrete work? Our city specs are not very clear on this section. Some say pay a portion some say wait until the results pass the spec requirement. The work is completed in place but afraid if payment is made and test fails then it will difficult to have the contractor redo the work. Thanks.

Before the next job, rewrite the specs. It is false economy to "think" that payments can be delayed solely to benefit the Owner. Reputable Contractors will quickly discover this one-sided arrangement and either not bid, or more likely provided inflated bids that have a calculated (but unseen) cost to compensate for delayed payment.

You should custom tailor the specifications and payment details to the scope of work.
