Construction Debt Collection — built as carefully as the structure itself.
Retainage disputes, miller act bonds, subcontractor and supplier claims — construction recovery is a body of law unto itself. Altus knows it.
How we approach Construction
Construction recovery, by specialists who know the business.
Construction receivables are governed by state-specific law, federal Miller Act bonds, complex retainage practices, and pass-through liability between general contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers. Altus construction specialists work miller-act federal projects, document pay-when-paid disputes, and coordinate with bonding companies.
Recovery challenges
What makes Construction different.
Retainage
Retainage disputes hinge on substantial completion, punch-list resolution, and acceptance documentation.
Pay-when-paid clauses
Subcontractor recovery requires careful analysis of contract terms and state enforceability.
Bond claims
Federal Miller Act bonds, state little-Miller bonds, and private payment bonds each have distinct claim windows.
