I am having trouble getting paid from one contractor in particular. I bend over backwards for this guy but he is only able or willing, i'm not sure which, to give me crumbs... It seems that he strings me along with just enough money to barely survive. to date he owes me $30,000 some of these bills are from June. I know he is having trouble getting paid from recent projects but how far do I go before I drop him. Alot of his workers think he is going bankrupt.

How do you guys structure payments and are you flexible if the contractor is late. Do you hold back inspection certificates untill final payment. Any help would be appreciated
