Construction businesses in Scotland are still suffering from late payments, outstanding retentions and unexpected charges.
That's according to a new survey by the Construction Industry Collective Voice (CICV), which revealed that 68% of respondents said their payment terms were altered negatively, with 60% claiming adjustments were made with little or no explanation.
A further 69% of those surveyed said the time and cost of chasing outstanding money was their most significant problem when it came to payment.
