ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade Business Related Discussion trying to get payment from a gc

Willfescon,
something is really wrong here... bonds don't kick in until a bailout is requested. if you have a long (one year) track record with this contractor and never had a problem with payment, talk to him about your concerns and, MAYBE give him the benefit of doubt. If you don't know him all that well, assume somethings up and demand payment on the work completed. simply tell him that you NEED "X" amount to continue, and no other explanation is necessary. and Talk to other subs, see if it's everyone or just you, but remember his subs maybe more loyal to the contractor than to you, so NO gossip.
