Retention payments are a percentage of milestone payments owed to a subcontractor or vendor. They are withheld pending full practical completion and resolution of any defects. Many project owners or end clients also hold retention payments from monies due to the head contractor at the agreed project milestones.

As a result, it assures buyers that the construction work has been executed in accordance to the defined norms and approved designs.
