When managing payments to your home builder, especially under a percentage-based progress claim system, it's crucial to ensure that the value of any contracted work not completed or not completed satisfactorily is accounted for before making the final payment. This approach includes withholding amounts for non-rectified defects and for any negative variations, which are adjustments for works that were initially planned but eventually deemed unnecessary.
