Home/Construction/Problem

The builder is experiencing a problem where homeowners are not paying for services rendered, and the cost of legal action to recover payment exceeds the amount owed.

Current legal recourse (suing) is not economically viable for smaller unpaid invoices, leaving builders with no effective way to recover owed money.
