Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
Material Purchase Invoices: Payment terms are agreed with suppliers before commencing business. Terms vary between 7 days from invoice received date (IRD) to 75 days from IRD; the most common payment term in practice is 45 days from month end. Supply and fit sub-contract invoices: Payment terms are agreed with sub-contractors before commencing a project. Terms depend upon the form of Contract and vary between 30 to 60 days. Labour Only sub-contract invoices: Payment is due 14 days from the end of the week which the work undertaken by the sub-contractor relates to.
- Other payment-term information
The payment performance reporting has been prepared on a basis that is consistent with previous submissions, in that they report the time taken between the date of receipt of the initial invoice and the payment date of the approved invoice received from the supplier/subcontractor. Breheny Civil Engineering are now compliant with the standards set out by the Fair Payment Code. The Company has achieved the "Silver Standard". For clarity the data presented in this report is for a combined total as stipulated by Payment Practise Reporting.
- Dispute resolution process
Disputes are discussed and resolved between the supplier, our internal finance department, and the procurement department. Once the dispute is resolved, payments are prioritised to mitigate risk of late payment. Sub-contract disputes are discussed and resolved between the subcontractor and the project quantity surveyor.

PSC records are company-filed public-register information. When the exact same displayed individual name occurs at multiple companies, BritDB offers a non-indexed cross-reference page. It is a name match only, not proof that the records describe the same person. Service addresses and partial dates of birth are deliberately omitted.
10 Charity register
Charity Commission links
No exact company-number link in this snapshot
The Charity Commission extract did not explicitly associate this Companies House number with a charity. BritDB does not use a name-only match to fill the gap.
This company-level check covers the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Links are accepted only when the official extract supplies this exact company registration number. Scottish charities now have separate OSCR profiles, but OSCR’s bulk fields do not provide a Companies House number, so BritDB does not infer a company link.
11 Northern Ireland charity register
CCNI exact company links
No unambiguous company-number link found
The CCNI source number did not resolve uniquely to this Companies House record. BritDB did not use a name or address match.
CCNI publishes company numbers without a jurisdiction prefix. BritDB links only when the plausible padded UK and NI candidates resolve to exactly one Companies House company.
12 Sanctions screening
UK Sanctions List
No exact business-registration-number link found
The imported UK Sanctions List did not supply this Companies House number as a UK-linked business identifier. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
No exact link is not sanctions clearance. UK restrictions can apply through ownership or control even where an entity is not separately named. Always use the current official list and obtain appropriate advice for a legally significant decision.
