- Dispute prevention — Mokgwa o hlakileng wa valuation o fokotsa ho se dumellane ka mosebetsi o qetilweng
- Cash flow predictability — Borakonteraka ba ka hakanya ditefo mme ba rale ka nepo
- Retention management — Tsamaiso e hlophisitsweng ya ho tshwara le ho lokolla retention
Ntle le di-payment certificate tse ntshitsweng hantle, kontraka e tobana le tieho ya ditefo, diphapang, le mathata a cash flow. Ho utlwisisa mokgwa wa JBCC payment certificate ho bohlokwa hore o sebetse ka katleho indastering ya kaho ya Afrika Borwa. Bakeng sa timing ya ditefo le risk, bona progress payment certificates in South Africa le delayed payments in construction.
Setifikeiti sa Tefo sa JBCC ke Eng?
Setifikeiti sa tefo sa JBCC ke tokomane ya semmuso e ntshwang ke principal agent (hangata architect kapa quantity surveyor) e netefatsang boleng ba mosebetsi o qetilweng ke kontraka le ho dumella tefo ke employer. Tlasa JBCC PBA 2018 (Principal Building Agreement), di-payment certificate ke mokgwa oo ditefo tsa tsoelo-pele di etswang ka wona. Bakeng sa papiso ya JBCC le diforomo tse ding tse tlwaelehileng, bona JBCC vs NEC vs GCC contracts.
Setifikeiti se sebetsa jwalo ka valuation document le payment instruction. Se bontsha:
- Gross value ya mosebetsi o qetilweng ho fihlela jwale
- Variation kapa adjustment efe kapa efe
- Dikgaello tsa retention
- Dikgaello tsa ditefo tse fetileng
- Net amount e lokelang kontraka
Di-payment certificate ke ditokomane tse tlamang ka molao. Hang ha se ntshitswe, se bopa boitlamo ho employer hore a lefe amount e netefaditsweng nakong e boletsweng konterakeng (hangata matsatsi a 14 tlasa JBCC PBA 2018 clause 6.2).
Karolo ya Principal Agent
Principal agent o ikarabella ho lekola mosebetsi o qetilweng, ho beha boleng ba variation, le ho ntsha di-payment certificate. Karolo ena e hloka:

Principal agent o sebetsa jwalo ka moahlodi ya ikemetseng, a lekalekanya ditabatabelo tsa employer le kontraka ka bobedi ha a ntse a netefatsa hore terms tsa konteraka di a latelwa.
Mefuta ya Di-Payment Certificate tlasa JBCC
Foromo ya konteraka ya JBCC PBA 2018 e amohela mefuta e meraro ya payment certificate, e nngwe le e nngwe e sebeletsa morero o fapaneng potolohong ya ditefo:
Interim Payment Certificates
Interim payment certificate di ntshwa kgwedi le kgwedi (kapa ka intervals tse ding tse boletsweng konterakeng) nakong yohle ya construction period. Di akaretsa mosebetsi o phethilweng ho tloha setifikeiting se fetileng mme di bopa motheo wa ditefo tsa progress ka mehla.
Dikarolo tsa bohlokwa:
- Di ntshwa kgwedi le kgwedi kapa ka intervals tse boletsweng konterakeng
- Di akaretsa mosebetsi o phethilweng nakong eo
- Di kenyeletsa variation e amohetsweng nakong eo
- Di fokotsa retention (hangata 5-10% ya gross value)
- Di fokotsa ditefo tsohle tse fetileng
- Di bopa boitlamo ba tefo bakeng sa net amount
Interim certificate di boloka tjhelete e phalla nakong yohle ya projeke, e dumellang kontraka ho tshehetsa mosebetsi o tswelang pele ntle le ho emela completion ya projeke.
Penultimate Payment Certificate
Penultimate certificate e ntshwa ha principal agent a etsa qeto ya hore practical completion e fihletswe. Setifikeiti sena se bohlokwa hobane hangata se lokolla halofo ya retention e neng e tshwerwe projeke yohle.
Dikarolo tsa bohlokwa:
- Se ntshwa ka practical completion
- Se lokolla 50% ya retention (ho latela terms tsa konteraka)
- Se kenyeletsa mosebetsi wohle o qetilweng ho practical completion
- Se ka kenyeletsa variation tsa ho qetela le adjustments
- 50% e setseng ya retention e sala e tshwerwe ho fihlela final completion
Penultimate certificate e fa kontraka tjhelete e kgolo nakong ya practical completion, e thusang ho tshehetsa tokiso ya final account le mosebetsi wa defect rectification.
Final Payment Certificate
Final payment certificate e ntshwa ka mora hore defects tsohle di lokiswe, final account e dumellanwe, le principal agent a etse qeto ya hore final completion e fihletswe. Setifikeiti sena se lokolla retention e setseng mme se fedisa amount tsohle tse ntseng di le teng.
Dikarolo tsa bohlokwa:
- Se ntshwa ka final completion
- Se lokolla retention e setseng (hangata 50% ya ho qetela)
- Se kenyeletsa final account adjustments tsohle
- Se fedisa variation le claims tsohle tse sa qetwang
- Se emela tefo ya ho qetela tlasa konteraka
Final certificate se kwala dikarolo tsa ditjhelete tsa konteraka, se lokolla retention yohle mme se fedisa di-account tsohle.
Mohato ka Mohato: Kamoo o ka Hlahisang Interim Payment Certificate
Ho ntsha JBCC payment certificate ho hloka tlhokomelo e phahameng dintlheng le ho latela strict contract procedures. Mona ke tshebetso ya mohato ka mohato:
Mohato 1: Kontraka o Romela Payment Claim
Tshebetso e qala ha kontraka a romela payment claim (e boetse e bitswa payment application kapa valuation). Tlasa JBCC PBA 2018 clause 6.2, kontraka o tshwanetse ho romela claim ka letsatsi le boletsweng kgwedi le kgwedi (hangata la 25 kapa letsatsi la ho qetela la mosebetsi).
Payment claim e tshwanetse ho kenyeletsa:
- Statement ya mosebetsi o qetilweng nakong eo
- Measurement sheets kapa supporting documentation
- Dintlha tsa variation efe kapa efe e kopilweng
- Materials on site (ha ho sebetsa tlasa konteraka)
- Amount tse ding tse kopilweng (preliminaries, adjustments, jj.)
Claim ya kontraka e bopa motheo wa tekolo ya principal agent, empa principal agent ha a tlamehe ke valuation ya kontraka — o tshwanetse ho etsa independent assessment ya mosebetsi.
Mohato 2: Principal Agent o Lekola Mosebetsi o Entsweng
Principal agent o tshwanetse ho etela setsha mme a lekole mosebetsi o qetilweng. Tekolo ena e akaretsa:
Site inspection:
- Ho netefatsa hore mosebetsi o kopilweng o qetilwe kannete
- Ho hlahloba boleng ba mosebetsi le compliance le specifications
- Ho metha quantity ya mosebetsi o qetilweng
- Ho supa defects kapa mosebetsi o sa phethahalang
- Ho ngola mosebetsi o sa fihlelleng contract requirements
Valuation process:
- Ho metha quantities kgahlano le bill of quantities kapa schedule of rates
- Ho sebedisa contract rates ho measured quantities
- Ho beha boleng ba preliminaries (site establishment, overheads, jj.) ka proportion
- Ho lekola boleng ba mosebetsi le ho kenya deductions bakeng sa defects
Principal agent o tshwanetse ho ba thorough le fair. Under-valuation e ka baka mathata a cash flow ho kontraka, ha over-valuation e ka beha employer kotsing ya ho lefa mosebetsi o sa phethahalang kapa o defective.
Mohato 3: Valuation ya Variations le Adjustments
Variations ke diphetoho ho original contract scope, price, kapa conditions. Tlasa JBCC PBA 2018, variation di tshwanetse ho dumellwa ka nepo ka variation orders pele mosebetsi o etswa.
Mekgwa ya variation valuation:
- Bill rates — Ho sebedisa rates tse tswang bill of quantities ya pele moo ho sebetsang
- Fair rates — Rates tse buisitsweng bakeng sa mosebetsi o sa akaretsweng ke bill rates
- Cost plus — Actual cost le overhead le profit percentage (bakeng sa complex variations)
- Provisional sums — Moo variation e amanang le provisional sum items
Adjustments tse tlwaelehileng tse kenyeleditsweng:
- Variation orders tse dumelletsweng tse entsweng nakong eo
- Fluctuations (ha ho sebetsa tlasa konteraka)
- Adjustments bakeng sa materials on site
- Adjustments bakeng sa advance payments
- Dintlafatso tse ding tsohle tse hlokwang ke konteraka
Variation di ka ama payment certificate haholo. Poor variation management e isa diphapang, tieho ya setifikeiti, le mathata a cash flow.
Mohato 4: Ho Fokotsa Retention
Retention ke percentage ya gross payment amount e tshwarwang morao ke employer e le security bakeng sa defects le mosebetsi o sa phethahalang. Tlasa JBCC PBA 2018, retention hangata ke 5-10% ya gross value, leha sena se ka fapana ka konteraka.
Retention calculation:
- E sebediswa ho gross value ya mosebetsi o qetilweng (ho kenyeletswa variation)
- E balwa jwalo ka percentage ya gross value
- E bokellwa nakong yohle ya projeke
- 50% ya pele e lokollwa ka practical completion (penultimate certificate)
- 50% e setseng e lokollwa ka final completion (final certificate)
Mohlala wa retention calculation:
- Gross value nakong ena: R500,000
- Retention rate: 10%
- Retention e fokoditsweng: R50,000
- Net value pele ho ditefo tse fetileng: R450,000
Retention e fana ka security ho employer empa e tshwara cash flow ya kontraka. Proper retention management e bohlokwa ho mahlakore ka bobedi.
Mohato 5: Ho Fokotsa Ditefo tse Fetileng
Principal agent o tshwanetse ho fokotsa ditefo tsohle tse fetileng tse entsweng ho kontraka. Sena se kenyeletsa:
- Interim payment certificates tsohle tse fetileng
- Advance payments efe kapa efe
- Direct payments efe kapa efe e entsweng ke employer
- Ditefo tse ding tsohle tse entsweng tlasa konteraka
Payment tracking:
- Boloka records tse nepahetseng tsa ditefo tsohle
- Netefatsa hore ha ho na double-counting ya ditefo
- Akaretsa payment adjustments kapa corrections efe kapa efe
- Netefatsa hore payment records di tsamaisana le bank statements
Payment tracking e nepahetseng e thibela over-payment mme e netefatsa hore setifikeiti se bontsha amount ya nnete e lokelang ho lefshwa.
Mohato 6: Setifikeiti se Ntshwa ka Nako e Behilweng
Tlasa JBCC PBA 2018 clause 6.2, principal agent o tshwanetse ho ntsha payment certificate ka nakong e behilweng (hangata matsatsi a 7-14 ka mora ho amohela claim ya kontraka). Deadline ena e bohlokwa — setifikeiti se diehang se diehisa ditefo mme se ka tlola terms tsa konteraka.
Dikahare tsa setifikeiti:
- Certificate number le date
- Project name le contract number
- Period e akaretswang ke setifikeiti
- Gross value ya mosebetsi o qetilweng
- Value ya variation e kenyeleditsweng
- Total gross value
- Retention e fokoditsweng
- Ditefo tse fetileng tse fokoditsweng
- Net amount e lokelang

- Security for incomplete work — E sireletsa employer ha kontraka a hloleha ho phethela mosebetsi
Retention Rates
Retention rates di fapana ka konteraka empa hangata di ba:
- 5% — E tlwaelehile diporojekeng tse nyane kapa kontraka e tshepahalang
- 10% — Standard rate diporojekeng tse ngata
- Higher rates — Ka dinako tse ding diporojekeng tse nang le risk e phahameng kapa kontraka e ntjha
Retention rate e boletswe konterakeng mme e sebediswa ho gross value ya mosebetsi (ho kenyeletswa variation).
Retention Release Schedule
Tlasa JBCC PBA 2018, retention e lokollwa ka mekhahlelo e mmedi:
Stage 1: Practical Completion (Penultimate Certificate)
- 50% ya retention yohle e lokollwa
