How Payments Work
You pay in stages, as the work is done. After the deposit, each payment is only due once that stage of the build is complete. The table shows a typical dormer; a hip to gable with a rear dormer has an extra stage, so its payments are 25%, 20%, 15%, 15%, 10%, 10% and 5%. Your proposal sets out the exact stages and payments for your loft.
