The 50 companies paying the largest share of construction invoices late

Ranked by the share of invoices each company reports paying later than the agreed terms, latest filing of each, current filers only. The share paid late is the number to read first: a short standard term makes an invoice late sooner, so read it alongside the average days.

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.
