Major contractors muscling-in on smaller contracts are proving a major headache for construction SMEs.
A third of firms quizzed for a new report by pre-qualification register Constructionline said competition from larger companies is the biggest challenge local contractors face in tender competitions.
Late payment is still a blight on the industry with 56% of the 1,300 firms quizzed saying invoices took even later to settle during the last year.
"The online Creditlook credit circle is what we use to make the best decisions on credit terms and as an early warning system for trouble with debtors. If it is not perceived as an essential tool in this regard in the Construction Industry – in our opinion it should be."
