Missing and Late Payments in Construction

Recovering Missing and Late Payments

In construction, timely payments are essential to maintaining project continuity and meeting deadlines. Unfortunately, it's not uncommon for owners or general contractors to delay payments or fail to pay entirely, impacting subcontractors, suppliers, and other contractors. Our team helps clients recover missing payments efficiently, providing support through legal channels and alternative solutions such as mechanic's liens.

Why Missing and Late Payments Occur

Late payments can occur for many reasons, from simple oversight to intentional withholding of funds. These delays place an unfair burden on contractors and subcontractors who have already invested time and resources. Our team understands the financial strain caused by missing payments and provides the support needed to enforce payment agreements and ensure fair treatment.

Our Services for Late Payment Recovery

We offer a range of services designed to help contractors and subcontractors recover payments owed. Our services include:

  • Filing Mechanic's Liens: A mechanic's lien places a hold on the property in question, preventing the owner from selling or refinancing until the outstanding payments are made. This tool is highly effective in incentivizing payment and provides contractors with leverage in pursuing their claims.
  • Demand Letters and Payment Negotiation: Sometimes, a formal demand for payment is enough to resolve the issue. Our attorneys draft demand letters that clearly outline payment obligations, increasing the likelihood of prompt compliance.
  • Pursuing Civil Claims: When other methods are ineffective, we can represent clients in court to pursue a civil judgment for the owed payments, ensuring that contractors receive their rightful compensation.
