Most trade contractors evaluate potential clients based on project size, profit margins, and the quality of their relationships. While these factors remain crucial, there’s another metric that deserves equal weight in your client selection process: payment speed. 

Consider two identical $100,000 projects with 15% margins. Project A pays in 30 days, while Project B takes 90 days. On paper, both generate $15,000 in profit. In reality, the delayed payment on Project B costs you significantly more and ties up capital that prevents you from taking on additional work. 

The challenge is knowing which general contractors deliver on these benefits before you invest time in pursuing their projects. Siteline's "Top 50 Fastest-Paying GCs in Commercial Construction" report provides actual payment performance metrics among major GCs, giving you the real-world data needed to quickly identify clients with strong track records of reliable and timely payments.
