Subcontractors have been left fuming after Laing O’Rourke suddenly decided to change its payment terms this month.
It is understood that O’Rourke has switched its terms to a single payment run on the 28th of every month.
That has outraged suppliers who have been used to weekly payments or ad-hoc staged payments.
It is understood the diktat has come down from the Dartford head office and is also proving unpopular with O’Rourke site teams left to deal with angry subcontractors.
One supplier said: “We were due to be paid earlier this month but nothing appeared in our account.
“We tried to speak to O’Rourke to see what was going on but had no official letter or email confirming the sudden change.
“It was only when we demanded to know where our money was that the whole story came out from the site team who seem almost as upset as us.”
O’Rourke said the issues were down to the introduction of a new accounting process.
Another subcontractor said: “It’s caused a real stink on our job and the people like the dryliners who get paid weekly are threatening to walk off.
“This is totally wrong. We had signed and agreed payment terms then they suddenly make this change.
“I’d love to see whoever thought this was a good idea at head office to come down to site and explain it.”
A Laing O’Rourke spokesperson said: “Laing O’Rourke remains committed to the prompt payment of its subcontractors and suppliers.
“In November, the company introduced a new accounting process and during this introductory month we are aware that some payment dates were moved whilst we realigned them to coincide with the month end.
“Wherever possible, we have worked closely to address issues with any affected subcontractors during this transition period.
“We apologise for any inconvenience caused during November.”

Plans have got off the ground again to save Whitby’s crumbling historic piers on the exposed North Yorkshire coast.
The piers have suffered heavy storm damage over the years with the east pier, in particular, at risk of collapse.
The landmark piers have been protecting Whitby harbour and the town’s maze of harbourside cottages and passageways since 1545, when they were built of timber.
They were rebuilt in 1632 using stone and today they are officially recognised as listed buildings by Historic England.
Works will include repairs to the masonry block work including filling of voids due to material loss, driving new sheet piles to act as scour protection to the East Pier.
The council also wants to deliver concrete repairs to the promenades, and install flood gates at Battery Parade slipway and possibly a new footbridge to link the East Pier with the extension arm.
Scarbough council is looking for a turnkey contractor experienced in design and construction of structures suitable for a coastal environment, which can also provide architectural skills to ensure the design is aesthetically enhancing to the area.
It is planning a two-stage bid process for the job, which is estimated to cost over £5m.

A leading UK provider of wood burning stoves and biomass heating solutions has revealed the aspects of a home that Britons look for and find most appealing when property hunting. Findings revealed that exposed brick, a kitchen island and a wood burner/aga were the house features most likely to persuade respondents to buy a property.
In a bid to discover the most appealing home aesthetics Briton’s look for when viewing properties for the first time, a new piece of research undertaken by a leading UK provider of wood heating solutions set out to unveil the elements attached to a property most likely to help it sell.
The team at www.Euroheat.co.uk polled a total of 2,085 UK-based adults aged 30-65, all of whom were either in the process of purchasing a new home at the time of the research, or had purchased a property within the past twelve months.
Respondents were initially asked to state whether they preferred rustic and traditional houses or something more modern and contemporary. More than three fifths (62%) stated they preferred rustic properties, with 38% preferring more modern homes. When individuals who stated they preferred rustic houses were asked to explain why; more than half (51%) said old houses have ‘more character and a rich history’, 29% said they ‘look better’ and 20% said they ‘hardly ever look the same from the outside, unlike modern houses’.
All participants were then given a list of home elements asked to provide the features that they were most likely to look out for when property searching. Individuals were asked to reveal all answers that appealed to them, with the top five answers emerging as follows:
1. Exposed brick -51%
2. Kitchen Island – 46%
3. Wood Burners or an Aga – 39%
4. Thatched Roof– 26%
5. Hardwood floors – 17%
Following on from this, all respondents were asked to consider how much more they’d be willing to spend on a home in order to ensure it had one of their desired home features. The average amount participants would be willing to add on to their budget emerged as £2,500. Of all participants, 67% stated that older features made the house feel more homely and cosy, 31% also stated they felt these houses were perfect for long term plans and modern houses were more short term.
Simon Holden, co-founder of Euroheat, said the following:
“It’s refreshing to see from our research that older homes and their features are still desirable to Britons just as much as modern features and homes are. It’s all too easy to forget about the beauty and character of older houses.”
He continued:
“Homes with thatched houses and real hardwood floors are the homes that our grandparents and great grandparents grew up in and have become steeped in British history. Whilst it’s necessary for updates and modernisations to take place on properties and modern houses are well suited and beautiful to some, it’s nice to see that the homely feel of traditional properties are still desirable by others.”
Snow and ice removal are big jobs that merit advance planning. Which is why our team at Wolf Paving put together a comprehensive Winter Preparations Checklist to help your business prepare for winter. From snow removal tips, to vehicle maintenance, from employee commutation to snow plowing routes -- our checklist covers everything your business needs to prepare.
Consider these winter preparation tips:
Assess Your Materials Needs Before Winter Weather
When the first big freeze comes, you certainly don’t want to be running out to the store to buy salt, deicers and scrappers. Assess your needs before the cold weather hits and stock up so you are prepared with all of the necessary winter weather items for your team. Moreover, consider what your employees will need if they spend time outside. Do you have enough warm weather clothing? Consider replenishing your stock of hats, scarves, mittens and boots to keep your employees warm and cozy on the job.
Make A Snow Removal Plan and Back Up Plan
Ensure your business is prepared for the season’s first snowfall with properly tuned-up snow removal vehicles. Check your vehicles over now while the weather is warm, to make sure they are in top performing shape. Our free checklist has a number of great items to review to help ensure your vehicles are in proper working order.
If you plan to hire a snow removal service, consider the options in your area, and hire a reputable snow removal team with experience and exceptional customer service. Most importantly, always have a back up snow removal option in place. Should your machinery breakdown or your contractor fall through, you want to be prepared to open your doors for business without delay, so always be prepared with a back up plan.

London’s Whiteleys shopping centre is set to get a new lease of life after ambitious plans to restore the Grade II-listed building were submitted to Westminster Council.
A joint venture between a Meyer Bergman-advised investment fund and Warrior Group is seeking to deliver a £1bn redevelopment of the once grand department store in Bayswater.
The Foster + Partners designed mixed-use scheme, which will incorporate the iconic central dome, will see 500,000-plus sq ft built behind the existing 1911 facade.
This will include construction of more than 100 homes, a mixture of apartments and townhouses. These will be arranged around an inner courtyard with new shops, a boutique hotel, gym and basement cinema.
Exterior of the existing building will be retained although it will be extended up with two extra floors
A new public courtyard will be at the heart of the new scheme
A hotel is planned to boost footfall and bring the leisure and retail scheme to life
The scheme will open onto Queensway, which is planned to undergo a £50m revamp scheduled to begin in early 2016.

However, there are a few preventative measures you can take to increase the traction on your driveway and any other concrete surfaces you may have around your property.
One of the most effective methods to increase traction is to apply a friction coating. To do this, you’re going to first need to choose a specific type of friction coating. There are several options available, each of which may be more or less suited to your specific driveway.
For example, there are friction coating products made with everything from aluminum oxide beads to polyethylene, so make sure you ask for help before making a final selection.
Once you’ve chosen a specific type of coating, it should be applied to your concrete driveway on a day with moderate temperature and no rain. Make sure your driveway is closed off so nobody steps or drives onto it while the coating is being applied.
Before getting started, your driveway should also be as clean as possible to ensure that the coating adheres well to the surface. If you aren’t working with a new driveway, you may need to use a degreasing cleaner to get rid of some deeper grime and roadway oils.
There are other methods of improving traction on concrete services, including broom finishing. This technique can be done immediately after concrete is poured, adding a series of small lines in the concrete that can add some additional traction. However, it’s not ideal for any concrete surfaces that have decorative markings, and it can only be done during the construction of a new driveway.
Regardless of which method you use, stay safe this winter and take the necessary steps now to prevent slippery driveways in the future.
At Bergen Mobile Concrete, we can help ensure that your driveway is prepared for all seasons. With comprehensive concrete delivery services – including night and weekend availability – we’re available when you need us.
For more information, call us today at 201-797-7550.
