Costain finally signs prompt payment code

11 Mar 13 Costain yesterday added its name to the list of companies that has signed the Prompt Payment Code, undertaking to pay suppliers on time.

Morgan Sindall also last week signed the code, although Morgan Lovell had already made the commitment back in January 2010 in the early days of the code.

The big names in construction that have still not signed include Galliford Try, BAM, Vinci, Wates, Amec and ISG.

Several big housebuilders also seem to think that prompt payment issues are nothing to do with them. Barratt, Bovis Homes, Persimmon, Redrow and Taylor Wimpey have all so far ignored the code, despite construction minister Michael Fallon urging all major firms to sign up.

See our previous reports on this topic here:

and here:

Wates is a regular donor to the conservative party and deputy chairman James Wates last year was awarded a CBE for his work for the constructionÌýindustry. Its decision to snub Mr Fallon's request is therefore particularly likely to raise eyebrows.

The full list of construction-related firms that have signed the code to date is below:
