This page details the legacy owner progress claim experience. A modernised experience is also available. 

Objective

To set or release retention for line items on an owner progress claim with the Head Contracts tool. 

Background

You can use the steps below to:

  • Set the Retention Amount. Enter a percentage to calculate the withholding amount. This percentage will be applied to all of the line items on the progress claim. For example, enter 10% to withhold 10% on each progress claim line item. 
  • Release the Retention Amount. Enter a percentage to calculate the amount to release on the progress claim. This moves the calculated amount from the 'Currently Retained' column to the 'Released this Period' column in the head contract. You can adjust this amount to perform a partial or full release as follows: 
    • A partial release indicates an amount is being withheld. For example, you would enter 50% if you are halfway through the project and your progress claim is for a progress payment.
    • A final release means you are releasing the full amount and retention is no longer being withheld. For example,  you would enter 100% after all of a project's contractual obligations are substantially complete and your progress claim is for final payment.
