Debt recovery for trades and construction
Trades and subcontractors carry the cash-flow risk of every project. Work is done, materials are bought, and the invoice waits on a builder or client who is themselves waiting to be paid.
What goes wrong
- Progress claims disputed after the work is complete
- Retention money never released
- Variations done on a handshake and later denied
- Head contractors going into administration
How we approach it
- Fast letters of demand that reference the contract and the work performed
- Security of payment adjudication coordinated with specialist practitioners where timeframes allow
- Director and company checks before you spend on legal action
- Payment plans structured around project milestones
