RETAINAGE FACT SHEET
Retainage is part of a construction contractual arrangement where payment for a percentage of the value of completed work
is withheld until completion. Typically, in Colorado, that amount is 10% of the total contract for private work. The practice is commonly perceived to provide a level of financial protection to the party withholding retainage as well as an added incentive for proper and timely performance of the work. However, in an industry where profit margins are thin and cash management is essential, withholding retainage can create a significant financial strain on contractors and subcontractors.
