MCA debt relief for construction companies and contractors
Use this checklist to compare a settlement or restructuring proposal for construction companies and contractors. The business-specific questions below are planning considerations, not measured industry outcomes or a recommendation to stop payments.
Why construction companies and contractors are a different MCA situation
Build the forecast by project, including approved draws, disputed change orders, retainage, subcontractor obligations, and material purchases. Treat uncertain release dates as scenarios rather than committed cash.
Compare any proposal against the cash actually available after operating obligations. An advertised reduction in the daily payment does not by itself show the total cost or whether every funder has agreed.
Progress payments, retainage and project costs
Model a baseline week and a slower-collection week. Identify which assumptions would make the proposed payment unaffordable, and ask how the agreement handles that situation.
Prepare the signed advance agreements, payment history, notices, and a list of each contracting entity and guarantor. Ask the adviser to identify what additional records are needed and why.
Compare written options and total costs
Ask whether the proposal changes payment timing, reduces an agreed balance, or introduces new financing. Request the total creditor payments, provider fees, separate attorney fees, cancellation terms, and what happens if a funder does not agree.
A proposal is not a completed settlement. Confirm which parties must sign, what obligations remain, and which releases are included. Do not treat a promised result, completion date, or continuing access to financing as established without evidence.
Scope and legal references
These are planning questions, not a study of industry settlement results. Coastal is featured first by editorial choice; we have not verified superior results for this industry. Legal effects depend on your agreements and jurisdiction.
New York examples, checked September 18, 2026: assignment notices (UCC 9-406), collateral enforcement (UCC 9-609), and judgments by confession (CPLR 3218). These provisions do not establish the rules for every state or your eligibility for relief.

MCA debt relief for construction companies and contractors: common questions
Can I use retainage to fund a settlement?
+
First confirm the release conditions, expected timing, and any restrictions or competing rights to the funds. Ask counsel and your financial adviser whether the proposal leaves enough cash for project obligations. A funder is not required to accept a retainage-funded offer.
Can construction companies and contractors arrange payments around collections?
+
You can ask for revised terms and document the proposed schedule. Acceptance is not guaranteed. Have the signed agreement reviewed for any existing reconciliation procedure and the consequences of changing or stopping payments.
