Construction Collection Services

We are California’s premier construction collection agency. 

 

Recovering unpaid construction invoices requires more than persistence, it demands structure, precise timing, and a deep understanding of how construction payments flow.

 

Kore United manages the entire recovery process, from initial outreach to strategic escalation, ensuring every account is handled professionally, remains compliant, and progresses toward resolution efficiently and without unnecessary friction.

Who This Service Is For

Our Construction Collection Services help contractors recover unpaid invoices, protect cash flow, and preserve client relationships.

The lead contractor responsible for overseeing the entire construction project, including managing the owners, budgets, and subcontractors.

SubContractors

Specialized trades hired by general contractors to perform specific scopes of work on a project.

Material Suppliers

Companies which provide construction materials and building products delivered to job sites or contractors.

Laborers & Tradespeople

A Structured Approach to Getting You Paid

Every account is managed through a clear, step-by-step recovery process designed for construction payments.

Situation Evaluation & Recovery Planning

Review submitted invoices, payment schedules, construction contracts, and craft a tailored strategy for efficient collection.

Contact debtors via phone, email, and formal demand notices while maintaining compliance and professionalism.

When needed, prepare the collection file for next steps, including legal referral to secure payment.

Track all recovery activity and provide updates to keep collections and payments on schedule.

Real Outcomes

Our history is defined by successfully navigating complex financial disputes and securing capital for contractors when traditional methods have failed.

How We Help

We apply a rigorous, methodology-driven approach to construction payment, identifying leverage points that align with statutory requirements and industry standards.

Why Construction Collections Requires a Specialized Approach

Construction payments involve contracts, progress billing, retainage, compliance requirements, and multiple stakeholders. Generic collections or premature legal action often fail to resolve these issues efficiently.

 

Kore United’s construction-specific approach allows us to recover payments while maintaining professionalism, protecting relationships, and keeps you in control.
