  • Abstract:
    A critical review of methods for analysing risk associated with furnishing credit to construction contractors is provided. Specifically, the review reveals flaws in present evaluation procedures and identifies the need for new research into this subject domain. The difference between predicting contractor insolvency and determining a contractor's credit limit, without exposing the materials supplier to unacceptably high levels of financial risk is highlighted. A conceptual risk assessment model is then provided which takes into account: the dynamic construction business environment; the implications of managers' perceptions and decision making traits; the amount of credit allowed; and the 'type' of relationship between creditor and debtor. Given that the subject of assessing contractors' creditworthiness has received minimal research attention to date, the model provides a framework around which further work could be performed
