The AR problems keeping construction & real estate teams up at night

1

Pay apps disappear into the GC's inbox

You submit a pay application on the 25th. The GC's project manager is supposed to approve it. Three weeks later, nobody can find it.

2

Retainage is held hostage after completion

The project is done. Punch list is clear. But the owner won't release retainage because another sub didn't finish their work.

3

Lien deadlines slip without warning

Every state has different preliminary notice and lien filing deadlines. Miss one and you lose your legal leverage on a six-figure receivable.
