What distinguishes the last periodic payment from the final payment made to the contractor on most construction projects?

What will be an ideal response?


The last periodic payment is made after a project has reached substantial
completion. After the last periodic payment is made, the owner still will be withholding
the retainage. The retainage, often as much as 10% of the contract amount, is released at
the point of final completion in the form of the final payment. The punch list typically
separates the last periodic payment and the final payment.
