What is the purpose of the CCDC 9A document?

The CCDC 9A document serves as a sworn statement used for progress payment distribution. Its primary purpose is to provide a formal means of documenting the value of work completed on a construction project, thus facilitating the payment process for contractors. This document helps to ensure transparency and accountability in the payment process, as it typically requires contractors to declare the amounts owed to subcontractors and suppliers, ensuring that all parties involved in the project have been appropriately compensated for their work.

This focus on progress payment supports effective cash flow management for all parties involved, which is crucial for maintaining project schedules and budgets. The specific structure and required information within the CCDC 9A help to standardize the payment process across projects in Canada, enhancing ease of use and clarity for both owners and contractors.
