Construction Credit is Risky
Long payment cycles, lean profit margins, gaps in information, and challenging accounts receivable make construction credit tricky. Leverage the security of mechanic’s liens and bond claims to ensure you’re in the best possible position to get paid faster.
Here is more…
Problem #1
Tracking liens is labor intensive
We specialize in credit solutions for businesses supplying products and services to the construction industry. We take care of preparing, serving and filing preliminary notices, liens and bond claims either through an established and thoroughly vetted attorney network or through an in-house program under flat fees. We also provide secure online services and reporting that can be accessed anytime, from anywhere—saving both time and money.
Problem #2
Managing notices, liens and UCCs can be overwhelming
Lending at all levels within the supply chain requires the use of best practices to be successful. Notices and mechanic’s liens can be powerful tools to ensure you are positioned to get paid fast. But when deadlines are missed or statutory requirements are not followed correctly in each state or county, the result can be lost revenue. Our experts know the ins and outs of the process, to ensure it is done correctly so you can minimize your risk.

Eric Emerick, VP of OperationsAircon Engineering Inc.
- Notice & Lien
We’ve used NCS to protect a significant portion of our receivables over the past year…and with great success! By implementing a lien program, we have reduced our DSO by 20% in the last 12 months.
-
Michael Day, ControllerCaptiveAire
- Notice & Lien
After implementing the lien/notice to owner program, we have seen our DSO numbers steadily decline each month, to an average of around 22 days. That is over a 30% improvement in our DSO since we first partnered with NCS.

John Keefe, Executive Operations OfficerCSI of Virginia, Inc.
- Notice & Lien
I love the system. Before NCS I was doing the law research (long and tedious), generating the documents, certified mailing the signed docs to the necessary parties, and trying to monitor the milestones. It was a very difficult but necessary task. The NCS service website and the lien digest have revolutionized how CSI protects its lien rights. I literally log on to the website, go to the lien digest to educate myself, pull up a service request, and input the necessary data. Done! NCS reminds me of the next milestones. Brilliant. Thank you!

Jonas Smith, Credit ManagerEcho Group, Inc.
- Notice & Lien
Echo Group was able to recover $37,000 on a public school project by leveraging the bond claim service provided by NCS. This bond claim gave us additional leverage in negotiating a settlement with the General Contractor that we would not have had otherwise. Regarding the second project, NCS made a bond claim on our behalf and we were recently informed that the surety will be paying Echo Group in full, approximately $61,000.

The improved turnaround time on lien waivers saves us 100 hours a month compared to our previous process. We quickly generate, review, and email our lien waivers.
