Early Payment at Scale: Moving from Ad Hoc Requests to a Structured Workflow
15 October @ 12:00 pm - 12:30 pm AEDT

Early Payment is already a familiar concept in construction, but managing requests consistently across multiple projects, subcontractors and internal teams can be challenging.
This practical 30-minute webinar for people residing in Australia and New Zealand will explore how Main Contractors can move from ad hoc Early Payment arrangements to a structured, repeatable workflow. We’ll look at how subcontractor-led requests can be managed with clear approvals, visibility and record-keeping, while also creating commercial value where subcontractors choose to offer a discount in return for earlier payment, helping to support project margin outcomes.
Webinar presenters Tim Cordner and Simon Shields from Payapps will then provide a high-level look at how Early Payment can sit alongside the existing progress claim process, giving commercial and finance teams a scalable way to manage requests, approvals and agreed discounts consistently across projects, without creating another disconnected administrative process.
Ticket Price: Complimentary (please note, as the Payapps product is currently only available in Australia and New Zealand, registration for this webinar is only open to people who reside in either Australia or New Zealand).
CPD: 0.5 points
