If you happen to experience any of these payment disputes and you are a builder or contractor, talk with your client. If you’re a subcontractor, then negotiate with your head contractor, especially when they are still withholding your retention even though you have completed your work.

Whatever your role is in the construction project, never forget to issue a payment claim, especially when initial negotiations are not enough. This document is evidence that you have indeed done construction work and you have the right to be paid for it.

With the payment claim, recovering money becomes easier as the client would be obliged to pay within a payment schedule.
