Sectors / Construction & public works
Sector 01 Construction & public worksFactoring and confirming for construction.
Projects take months. Payments take longer. Your treasury cannot wait.
The challenge
Construction is one of the sectors with the longest payment terms in Portugal — 60 to 90 days, and over 120 in the public sector. Slow progress certificates, guarantee retentions and concentration on a single project owner strain treasury on every project.
The solution
Factoring advances approved progress certificates and project invoices in 24-48 hours. Confirming extends payment to materials suppliers without harming the relationship — or the project schedule.
Sector figures
- Average construction DSO: 60-90 days
- Typical gross margin: 15-25%
- Main risk: concentration on a single project owner
How Advanta adapts to your sector
Construction has lower margins and longer terms. Advanta applies sector-specific benchmarks (CAE 41-43) and assesses the concentration risk on the main project owner, instead of a generic score.
