Standard payment terms

Material and overhead invoices are paid 30 days from end of month of invoice unless specifically agreed otherwise. Subcontractors are required to submit applications by no later than the 21st of the month, reflecting the anticipated valuation of work delivered as at that month end (Valuation Date). Following the principles of the Construction Act, the Due Date for approved applications is 35 days after the Valuation Date, with the final date for payment 14 days after the Due Date. Subcontractors have the opportunity to request weekly payments. Further information on payment terms can be found at novussolutions.co.uk/tc

Dispute resolution process

Novus seeks to avoid disputes by maintaining an open dialogue with its supply chain. When disputes arise Novus seeks to resolve the matter via the following channels: Disputes should be discussed with the ordering party. If this does not resolve the situation the matter should be escalated to both parties’ immediate line management. If this escalation fails to achieve a mutually acceptable solution the matter will be referred to a director for a final decision. Novus aims to resolve all disputes without third party intervention but on occasion this may be necessary and there are a number of options available to our supply chain: • Subcontract disputes may be referred to adjudication. • Non-subcontract disputes, and subcontract disputes that cannot be resolved by adjudication - either party may escalate the matter to a court of law. In the case of subcontract disputes Novus may opt for Arbitration as an alternative method of dispute resolution to a court of law.
