13 minPRO
5/6

Key Takeaways

  • Contractor abandonment recovery: secure the site, document everything, engage backup contractor, send termination notice, resume work.
  • Having a pre-qualified backup contractor reduces abandonment recovery time from weeks to days.
  • Prevention measures: financial due diligence, milestone-based draws, 10% retainage, and 48-hour non-response escalation.
  • Direct material purchasing on large projects prevents draw funds from being diverted to non-project expenses.
