  • Abstract:
    As an economic activity a construction project may be considered as the utilisation of material, labour, plant and human resources for the realisation of building and other infrastructure. To facilitate the execution of the project on site, parties have over the years adopted the use of mobilisation fee as a way of reducing the financial risks to contractors and clients in Nigeria. The objective of this paper was to study the effect of payment for advance purchase of materials on contractor's cash-flow projections. The Net Present Value Technique, (NP VT), was adopted in assessing the present worth of payment made under advance payment schedule vis-a-vis the projected cash flows in a monthly and bimonthly valuations. The result showed that the Net present value (NPV) under the Advance Payment Schedule (APS) was 2.67% and 9.75% higher when compared with the expected monthly and bimonthly valuations respectively despite the inherent level of delay.
