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 industry-specific approach ensures payments are recovered while maintaining professionalism, compliance, and control. Our expertise reduces risk, protects lien rights, and keeps projects and client relationships intact.
These services complement construction payment recovery by addressing related risk, compliance, and escalation needs.
Recovering unpaid construction invoices requires more than persistence, it demands structure, precise timing, and a deep understanding of how construction payments flow.
By managing the process professionally, clients maintain control over their projects and cash flow while minimizing friction with property owners or general contractors.
We provide actionable insights and reporting that help protect cash flow, prevent bad debt, and support smarter project and business decisions.
Documented cases showing how structured intervention, lien strategy, and compliant escalation secure payment across the construction industry.

We reviewed each construction file, filed Mechanics Liens, and engaged the property owners in structured collection discussions. Prompt negotiation and escalation led to full payment for every outstanding invoice.

Filed a Mechanics Lien, then referred to construction litigation counsel when the developer continued to refuse payment. The matter quickly settled for the original balance plus fees and interest.

Due to project complexity, we brought in a trusted construction law firm. Through formal legal coordination and professional outreach, the prime contractor released full payment, covering principal, interest, attorney fees, and collection costs.
