A major construction materials supplier and contractor in Grenada has issued a formal public statement pushing back against recent claims made by the country’s Prime Minister regarding its contractual performance and operational competence. Consolidated Contractors Company Caribbean Inc (CCCCI), a locally based firm that holds a monopoly on key construction materials for Grenada’s infrastructure projects, has released a full breakdown of facts to correct what it frames as misinformation about its work.
As the exclusive provider of asphalt across the island nation, and the sole supplier of road construction aggregate sourced from its own Mount Hartman Quarry, CCCCI emphasized that it has consistently met all contractual requirements for delivery timelines, volume of materials, and pricing for every client—including the Government of Grenada, third-party subcontractors, and independent contractors.
Turning to one high-profile unfinished project, the Moliniere Road upgrade, CCCCI clarified the circumstances behind the incomplete road work. The company was contracted by lead contractor Rayneau to lay two layers of asphalt on the approaches to the new concrete segment of the road, over a base that Rayneau was responsible for preparing. Under the terms of the agreement, advance payment was required for each asphalt layer before work would commence. CCCCI confirmed it never installed the second layer because the required advance payment was never received. The firm also noted that the substandard condition of the current road surface stems from two factors beyond its control: the missing second asphalt layer due to non-payment, and an improperly prepared base layer delivered by main contractor Rayneau.
CCCCl went on to detail significant unresolved payment arrears owed to it by the Government of Grenada across multiple active and completed infrastructure projects. On the ongoing Cliff Road Project, the company has completed 90 percent of the required work, but has only received roughly 25 percent of the total contracted sum—equaling just $4 million of the project’s full $16.5 million price tag. Despite this major breach of payment terms, CCCCI says it has continued work on the project in good faith, prioritizing the best interests of the Grenadian public over enforcing contractual payment requirements.
For the True Blue Road Project, which CCCCI fully completed in compliance with all contract terms in 2024, the government still owes approximately 30 percent of the total agreed payment, equal to around $1.5 million. Additional unpaid balances for hot mix asphalt supplied by CCCCI to government projects in 2025 add another estimated $3.5 million to the government’s outstanding debt to the firm.
The statement also addressed a separate prior agreement between CCCCI and the government. As part of a deal to secure three new contracts—two for River Road and one for the Cliff Road Project—the government requested a discount on the Cliff Road project, which CCCCI approved under the expectation that the two River Road contracts would be awarded to the company as agreed. CCCCI followed through on its end of the deal, reducing the Cliff Road project price by roughly $3 million, but the government has not yet awarded the promised River Road contracts to the firm.
This formal statement from CCCCI marks a rare public break between a major private contractor and the Grenadian government, bringing long-running unresolved contract and payment disputes into the public eye following critical comments from the Prime Minister about CCCCI’s performance.
