The 50 companies paying construction invoices most reliably on time

Ranked by the smallest share of invoices paid later than agreed, with the average days to pay as the tie-break, latest filing of each, current filers only. A low late share with long declared terms still means a long wait; the company pages show the terms.

Method: the latest filing of each of the 1,496 companies declaring construction contracts on the government register, copy taken 2 October 2026, limited to filings whose period ended within the last 18 months. Medians across the set: 31 days to pay, 14% paid late. Figures are the companies' own, not judged.
