Passe o contrato pelo építtetői fedezetkezelő

Test the contract against the decree rather than against what the last job did: whether the work is procured under the public procurement act, what the contract value is, and which of those triggers the escrow. Record who the fedezetkezelo will be, the state treasury on a public works contract or a financial institution otherwise, and write the arrangement into the contract instead of bolting it on afterwards.

Por quê: Both the value that triggers the escrow and the range of contracts it covers have moved over the years, so a rule remembered from a previous job is the wrong instrument to answer this with. Discovering the obligation after signature means renegotiating the payment mechanism with a contractor who has already priced a different one, and the price of that renegotiation is always the client's.

Register the contract with the fedezetkezelo, open the escrow account and place in it the consideration together with the performance security the contract calls for. Record the payment schedule the same way both parties will claim against it, and link the arrangement to the e-epitesi naplo the work will be recorded in.

Por quê: The escrow exists so that the money is demonstrably there before the work starts, which is what a subcontractor is really relying on when it mobilises. A schedule registered differently from the one the site works to produces a claim the escrow manager cannot match to anything, and the release stops while two spreadsheets are reconciled.

Value the period tetel by tetel against the koltsegvetes the contract carries, keeping the anyag and the dij apart as the bill keeps them, and set the cumulative figure against the registered payment schedule so the two are read together rather than reconciled later.

Por quê: The escrow releases against a certified amount, and the certificate is only as quick to obtain as the measurement behind it is easy to check. A valuation that departs from the contract's own line structure forces the muszaki ellenor to rebuild it before signing anything, and every day of that is a day the money is not moving.

Get the teljesitesigazolas signed for the measured period first, then raise the szamla for exactly that amount and lodge the release request with the fedezetkezelo, quoting the certificate. Where the certificate is refused or left unanswered, record the refusal and its date rather than invoicing anyway.

Por quê: The escrow manager checks the request against the certificate, so an invoice raised without one has nothing to be matched to and is simply held. Recording a refusal with its date is what preserves the route to have the performance certified by an expert body instead of leaving the contractor arguing about an invoice nobody ever accepted.

Keep the register of subcontractors and their certified amounts current, and file the declaration the fedezetkezelo requires with each release request, showing what each one is owed for the period and what has been settled. Reconcile it against their own certificates rather than against your ledger alone.

Por quê: This declaration is the whole point of the mechanism: the main contractor's money is released on the condition that the chain below it is being paid, so one omitted subcontractor holds the entire release and not just their share. Reconciling to their certificates also catches the case where a subcontractor believes it has been certified for more than you recorded, which is far cheaper to find now than at the final settlement.

Put the contract on the Hungarian payment regime and count from the event the law counts from, the performance being certified, not the day the invoice was posted. Record the shorter run that applies to a public client and the longer one a business client may agree, and let the module compute the due date and the interest that follows it.

Por quê: A term agreed beyond what the law allows is not enforceable simply because both parties signed it, and the interest on late payment runs at a statutory rate rather than a negotiated one. A due date computed from the certificate turns slow payment into a claim with a number, which is the only version of that conversation that ends.

Take the works over with the outstanding items listed, settle the final account against the cumulative certificates, release or convert the performance security according to what the contract says the guarantee period needs, and ask the fedezetkezelo to close the account with a statement of everything paid in and out.

Por quê: An escrow account left open after handover keeps money immobilised that both sides have use for, and it drifts out of anybody's ownership once the project team disperses. The closing statement is also the single document that proves the chain was paid, which is what answers a subcontractor's claim arriving after everyone involved has moved on.
