Best Practices Guidance for Retainage

The AGC of America Specialty Contractors Council (SCC) released a two-page "Best Practices Guidance for Retainage" document in Fall 2009.  Developed by the SCC Executive Committee with input from the more than 1,000 AGC specialty contractor members who responded to an AGC retainage survey, this resource is intended to provide guidance to specialty contractors who face cash-flow issues related to retainage. The guidance document is available here.  Additional resources include a summary of the AGC retention survey results and the AGC-ASA-ASC Guideline on Retainage from the Guidelines for a Successful Construction Project.  The Guidelines for a Successful Construction Project is a joint effort of AGC of America, the American Subcontractors Association (ASA) and the Associated Specialty Contractors (ASC).
