Managing Projects Under California’s Prompt Payment Law

For Owners and General Contractors, managing your public and private projects in compliance with the California Prompt Payment Act is essential to project success.

These statutes are designed to promote fair and timely payment.  Accordingly, they carry significant penalties for noncompliance.  Delayed payments can trigger unnecessary liability and exposure to penalties, interest, attorneys’ fees, and costs.

Understanding these critical rules will allow project managers and contractors to stay in compliance, and address claims appropriately based on these laws.
