A progress payment schedule asks the owner to pay for rough plumbing before that phase starts. What is the best contract-admin correction?

Correct Answer

B) Revise the schedule so payments do not exceed the value of work performed, apart from the down payment.

CSLB guidance requires a detailed written payment schedule, and payments cannot exceed the value of work performed except for the down payment.

Answer Options
A
Keep the date because advance payment helps the contractor manage cash.
B
Revise the schedule so payments do not exceed the value of work performed, apart from the down payment.
C
Move the rough plumbing amount into the final payment line without describing it, while keeping the early phase price hidden from the owner.
D
Collect the amount as a supplier deposit outside the home improvement contract.

Why This Is the Correct Answer

CSLB guidance requires a detailed written payment schedule, and payments cannot exceed the value of work performed except for the down payment.
