Certificate of payment

A Certificate of Payment is a formal document issued in construction and contracting that verifies the completion of a specific portion of work and authorizes payment to the contractor or service provider. It typically outlines the scope of work completed, the amount due, and any deductions or holdbacks. This certificate serves as a safeguard for both parties, ensuring that payments are made based on actual progress and compliance with contractual obligations. It is often part of a broader process of project management and financial tracking in construction projects.
