Payment plans & financing

Pay for progress you can stand on, not promises.

Every shilling on a Urban T contract is released against a certified milestone. Here are the schedules we work with, and the financing routes our clients use to fund them.

20% mobilisation

Milestone plan

Turnkey builds from foundation to finishing

  • 20% — mobilisation, setting out & site hoarding
  • 25% — substructure & slab certified
  • 25% — superstructure, roof & first-fix MEP
  • 20% — plaster, finishes & second-fix MEP
  • 10% — snagging, handover & defects bond release

Each release is tied to a signed site certificate, never to a calendar date.

Per stage

Stage-by-stage

Owners building slowly with their own cashflow

  • Contract one stage at a time (e.g. foundation only)
  • Pay 50% on award, 50% on stage certification
  • Pause between stages with no penalty
  • Rates locked for 6 months per signed stage

Ideal for diaspora and self-funded projects that grow as funds arrive.

Materials up front

Single-trade terms

Plumbing, electrical, tiling, painting and repairs

  • Materials invoiced at cost with supplier receipts attached
  • Labour paid on completion and your sign-off
  • Jobs under KSh 50,000 payable on completion
  • Bundle 2+ trades for an automatic 4–12% discount

No labour payment leaves your hands until you have inspected the work.

Funding routes

How clients fund their builds

SACCO & bank construction loans

We prepare the BOQ, drawings and stage certificates your SACCO or bank needs to release construction financing tranche by tranche.

Diaspora escrow

Funds held with your advocate or escrow agent and released only against our certified stage completion reports and photo evidence.

Supplier credit lines

Our accounts with cement, steel and finishes suppliers let you buy at trade rates with 30-day terms on large orders.

Urban T Construction Co. does not lend money or charge interest. We provide the documentation and certification your financier requires.

Questions

Payment terms, answered

Do you ever ask for the full amount up front?

No. The largest single payment on any Urban T contract is the 25% structure release, and every release follows a certified milestone.

How are variations and extra works paid?

Variations are quoted in writing and only start after you approve them. They are invoiced with the next scheduled milestone, never as a surprise.

What happens to the retention?

5–10% is retained through the defects liability period (6–12 months depending on contract) and released after the final snagging sign-off.

Which payment channels do you accept?

M-Pesa Paybill, bank transfer, and cheque. Every payment is receipted against your project account and reconciled on the monthly report.
