Pay a maximum of 10–15% as a booking advance. The rest should be milestone-linked: around 40% when material is delivered and verified on site, 35% when carpentry and installation are about 70% complete, and the final 10–15% only after handover and snag-list clearance. Never let the money you've paid get ahead of the work actually completed.
A well-structured payment plan keeps your money tied to verified progress at every stage:
| Stage | Pay | Cumulative |
|---|---|---|
| Booking — design + 3D begins | 10–15% | 15% |
| Material delivered + verified on site | 40% | 55% |
| Carpentry + installation ~70% done | 35% | 90% |
| Handover + snag-list cleared | 10–15% | 100% |
The golden rule: work completed should always be ahead of money paid. If you've paid 55% and material is verified on site, you're balanced. If you've paid 70% and only 30% is done, you've lost your leverage.
Vendors who ask for most of the money early usually justify it as "locking material prices". The real effect is different:
A genuine vendor doesn't need your money to buy your materials — they have working capital. The booking advance exists to confirm you're serious, not to fund their business.
Each milestone payment should be released only after you've checked something real:
Your payment schedule isn't safe unless it's written down. The contract must specify:
See our full interior contract guide for everything else the agreement should cover.
Our payment plan is built to keep you safe at every step:
10% to book. Design and 3D start immediately. Low exposure if anything feels wrong early.
Milestone payments after. Material is shown to you on site — with retailer invoices — before the material payment. Installation is verified before the installation payment.
Final amount held until snag clearance. We don't ask for the last payment until you've walked the home and every snag is closed.
Everything in the contract. The schedule, the amounts, the penalty clause — all written, all signed before work begins.
