CADDICK CONSTRUCTION LIMITED maintains an average payment time of 29 days, which sits just within a standard 30-day threshold, though only 17% of payments are actually settled within 30 days. The dominant payment band is 31–60 days, accounting for 74% of all payments, indicating a consistent pattern of slightly extended settlements beyond standard terms. A small 9% tail of payments exceeding 60 days suggests occasional delays but no systemic late-payment behaviour, as the recorded late payment rate stands at 0%.
The heavy concentration of payments in the 31–60 day band (74%) points to a highly predictable, if slower-than-ideal, payment cycle with low volatility. The 0% late payment rate reinforces reliability, suggesting that while payments routinely extend beyond 30 days, they do not escalate into problematic delinquency territory. The 9% over-60-day proportion introduces a modest degree of unpredictability, but its limited scale means it represents a manageable rather than material risk.
CADDICK CONSTRUCTION LIMITED presents a low-to-moderate payment risk profile, suitable for supplier engagement provided terms are structured to reflect a realistic 45–60 day settlement expectation rather than a standard 30-day cycle. Suppliers should factor the extended payment window into cash flow planning and consider incorporating clear contractual terms around the 60-day maximum to address the minority of slower payments. Overall, the data supports a commercially viable relationship with standard due diligence and modest credit term adjustments.

All standard agreements set out a dispute resolution process but the company will always seek to avoid disputes by first discussing matters directly with the relevant supplier. This will generally be through contact with the accounts payment team or the commercial staff responsible for the matter. In the event that this cannot be resolved at that level then this would be escalated to a senior member or director of the business team. If the matter still cannot be resolved then this would be referred to dispute resolution (mediation or expert determination), with adjudication or legal proceedings being the final option.
