You completed the work, supplied the materials and submitted your progress claim—but they still refuse to pay.
“Next week.”
“The employer already approved it.”
“Wait for the next drawdown.”
Sometimes, they even pay a small amount just to keep your hopes alive.
Next week becomes next month, and suddenly six months have passed. Meanwhile, you still need to pay your workers, suppliers and subcontractors.
Their cash-flow problem becomes your cash-flow problem.
A promise is not payment.
CIPAA may help contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and construction consultants recover outstanding payments under a written construction contract.
Start collecting your contract, progress claims, certificates, variation orders, invoices, site records, emails and WhatsApp messages.
Stop waiting until there is no money left to recover.
