Purpose of Retainage Retainage, also referred to as a ?hold back,? helps the owner ensure a contractor sufficiently completes the project, and that the work meets with their approval and terms of the contract. It also provides a financial incentive for the contractor to see the project through to its successful finish.
Retainage is the withholding of a portion of the funds that are due to a contractor or subcontractor until the construction project is finished. It is meant to serve as a financial incentive and an assurance that the contractor will complete the project in a satisfactory manner.
For example, if the complete project cost is $200,000 to be paid in five progress payments and the percentage to be retained is 5%, the calculation would be as follows: 200,000 x 0.05 = 10,000 total retainage amount. 10,000 divided by 5 = 2,000 retainage withheld from each progress payment.
Retainage and Retainage Bonds. RCW 60.28. 011 requires agencies to withhold up to 5% of the value of a public improvement contract, not including sales tax ing to Department of Revenue ETA 3024.2013, as retainage until the project is completed and the contract is accepted.
A retention bond allows the retainer to receive the payment in full instead of a partial 90 to 95 percent of the agreed amount. It also provides additional funds to remedy an issue before the project's completion. Furthermore, it helps prevent construction companies from defaulting.
A Retention Guarantee Bond is a written promises to pay for direct loss or damage suffered by a third party as a result of a breach of contract. Many types of bond or guarantee are available for almost any area of risk, subject to underlying security and the risk being acceptable to the guarantor.
