Performance

Collections & Receivables

Sales are excellent. So where is the cash?

When deposits are small, instalments run for years and revenue is recognised on delivery, a developer is operating as a finance company while carrying construction risk. The distance between the collection curve and the cost curve is where distress begins.

Collections is not chasing late payers. It is structuring the book so that it funds the build.

    Receivables by date, project, product and risk grade.

  2. 02

    Compare the curves

    Collection against construction spend, per project.

  3. 03

    Restructure terms

    Tenor, deposit and escalation on what is still being sold.

  4. 04

    Install the discipline

    Follow-up process, escalation ladder, early warning triggers.
