CustomCrete's Standard Payment Terms

Clear billing expectations are essential for any industrial flooring project. Whether you’re installing epoxy, urethane cement, polished concrete, or a resurfacing system, knowing how and when payments are due helps you plan ahead and keep your project on schedule. CustomCrete structures its payment terms to support transparency, minimize surprises, and ensure the project moves smoothly from start to finish.

Many clients are familiar with “Net 30” billing, meaning invoices are due within 30 days. But fewer realize how early payments can reduce costs—and how late payments can increase them. This blog explains exactly how CustomCrete’s standard payment terms work, why they matter, and how paying promptly can help you save money throughout your project.

Why Flooring Projects Use 30-Day Payment Terms

Most industrial construction and flooring projects operate on Net 30 payment structures. These payment terms allow clients to review the invoice, process it through accounting, and issue payment within 30 days.

This system benefits both sides:

• Clients get predictable timelines and the flexibility to manage internal approvals.
• CustomCrete can schedule crews, purchase materials, and keep the project moving without delays.

But while Net 30 is the standard, the timing of your payment—earlier or later—can have real financial consequences for your project.

Why Paying Early Is Cheaper

CustomCrete offers incentive pricing for clients who pay faster than 30 days. Early payments reduce administrative costs, improve cash flow, and allow materials to be ordered sooner, all of which help keep your overall project cost down.

Benefits of Paying Early

• Lower project costs through early-pay discounts
• Faster material procurement, reducing lead-time delays
• Stronger scheduling priority
• Reduced risk of price increases on resin systems or aggregates

Even a small early-pay discount can add up on large industrial flooring projects, especially when materials or labor fluctuate based on market conditions. With CustomCrete, you can save 2-5% if you pay before the 30 day mark. 

What Happens if Payment Is Late

While paying early provides savings, late payments can increase costs. Delayed payments slow scheduling, increase administrative labor, and may affect material pricing—especially for specialty coating systems with sensitive lead times.

Common Impacts of Late Payments

• Price adjustments or finance charges added to outstanding balances
• Delayed scheduling for upcoming phases or additional work
• Higher material costs if pricing increases during extended wait periods
• Potential project stoppages if payments fall too far behind

Late payments can disrupt your project timeline, especially if additional phases depend on prior invoices being current. CustomCrete charges 2-5% more if you are late on a payment. The clearest path to an efficient, cost-effective project is staying within (or ahead of) payment deadlines.

How CustomCrete’s Billing Cycle Works

To help you understand exactly what to expect, here’s how CustomCrete structures its standard payment terms from start to finish:

1. Deposit

A deposit is required to secure your installation date and order materials.
Early pay advantage: Paying quickly helps ensure materials arrive on time, reducing risk of delays.

2. Net 30 Progress Payments

Each progress invoice is due within 30 days of issue.
Staying within this window ensures the project continues smoothly without interruptions.

3. Early Payment Incentives

If you pay before the 30-day mark, you may qualify for early-pay savings depending on project size, scope, and material requirements.

4. Late Payment Penalties

Payments made after 30 days may include adjustments or carrying charges, depending on contract terms.

5. Final Payment

The remaining balance is due at project completion, typically within a Net 30 structure as well.

Why These Payment Terms Matter

Flooring installations involve multiple moving parts—crew schedules, material shipments, site preparation, coordination with facility shutdowns, and more. Clear payment terms help maintain a predictable flow.

Here’s why timing is so important:

• Epoxy and resin materials fluctuate in cost depending on the market
• Scheduling crews requires firm dates supported by timely payments
• Delays in payment can delay installation, especially for phased projects
• Warehouse shutdowns or production pauses must be planned carefully

In short: the timing of your payments directly affects the timing of your project.

How Clients Can Stay Ahead of Payment Schedules

To get the most value out of CustomCrete’s payment terms, consider these best practices:

• Share your internal approval timelines so invoices can be timed appropriately
• Inform accounting teams early about upcoming project stages
• Ask about early-pay discounts if paying ahead of Net 30 is feasible
• Plan around scheduled facility downtime to avoid costly delays
• Communicate proactively if unexpected delays arise on your side

Good communication ensures predictable billing and smooth project execution.
